Greetings mudders,
About 3 months ago I picked up a 1991 toyota pickup with the 22RE and I love it but it needs some work. I am having some kind of ignition problem at the moment where once the engine bay heats up the truck starts misfiring horribly and shooting clouds of black smoke out of the exhaust and doesn't want to idle. It runs PERFECTLY when the engine bay is still cold. Once the engine warms up as well, If you turn it off and let it sit for a while and go to restart it, it will start if you gas it, but sometimes dies out and needs a try or 2 more. I replaced the cap, rotor, wires, spark plugs, and ignition coil and the issue remains the same at this point which points me in 2 directions - magnetic pickup or ignition module. Ignition modules for these trucks are VERY hard to come by, especially the 90-91 model years so I just wanted to chime in and get some ideas/advice on things I could do to get my baby running right. I looked into the GM ignition swap but that only works for 22R's apparently. I was on ebay and noticed some 92-95 year chinesium ignition modules but they look slightly different than the one mine has, would it work if I ordered one and rigged it up? Could I possibly do a 1992+ ignition conversion so that I have more options for replacing that part? Any help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated!
