22re problems

[vorteced62]

i was wheeling a few weeks ago and about half way through the trail my runner started becoming way gutless and chugging when id let off the clutch, this is my daily driver and when im driving around town i dont notice much of a problem but when im at low rpms it gets funky, its an 85 4 runner, 22re ect. also sometimes when it gets weird i can heard a clicking sound coming from the ecu.

any ideas of what it could be? i was thinking vacum lines? does anyone know where i could find a picture or book that would show all the lines? my bible shows some but seems to leave a bunch out

on the intake manifold, twords the front is a bolt that holds the ground strap down.
check and make sure that is tight.

also. make sure the distributor cap is dry on the inside.

and have you checked for 'check engine' codes??

I was not aware that an 1985 had a re i.e. fuel injection

Autozone has some nice onfo on the runner/22re i.e. pulling codes, vacuum lines etc

toyotas are very cool

highly doubt the ecu is bad. 1/1000 chance.
(based on my professional experince.)

this is the bolt on my 86 that more closly resembles the one on your 85.

in my first post i was mentioning the placment on my 89.
they are slightly different.
this is my 89.

did you pull the codes?
