urgant going to get spark plugs need info

[85 t runner]

hello , what spark plug ? I ran 1985 toyota 4runner sr5 22re-c on search thats what I have , and it gave me NGK bpr5ey-11 for the 22re-c and for the 22re it gave me NGK bpr5ey , does the california emission 22re-c take a diff plug than a 22re .and would you know the spark plug gap. thanks

 

[toy4xfun]

the only one my book has is BPR5EY gaped at 0.031in or 0.8mm

and i thought 22rec stood for 22r electronic controlled?

my book only refers to a 22re and it is from Toyota.

 

[85 t runner]

I think the 22rec , the c is for california

 

[toy4xfun]

it might be but i have a bunch of valve covers that have that c on them, i did not think there would be that many California trucks out here.

hey did you go to ngk's site and see what the difference between the 2 plugs are?

the difference is the sr5 not the c, also NGK says the sr5 should be gaped at 44 not the 31.

go check there site out.

 

[toy4xfun]

now see, this could be a problem, why is a standard 22rec have a different plug than an sr5, and why are they gaped differently, could this be why some of us have seen a surge in idol and such?

 

[toy4xfun]

i have the info written down, would it be worth me putting it out there so jerod can put it into faq.

 

[toy4xfun]

ok since i seen this site i am sticking to my theory that C= controlled.

yeah if you go on ngk website it has 1985 TOYOTA 4RUNNER SR5 2.4 L4 22REC FI , BPR5EY-11 and a 1985 TOYOTA 4RUNNER 2.4 L4 22R-EC FI , BPR5EY.. so I have a 85 sr5 4runner , should I get the BPR5EY-11 ? I cant see what the diff a sr5 vs dlx , to justify a diff spark plug so im not going to buy them yet untill I know which one to get

 

[toy4xfun]

i would get the ones for the SR5, and gap them to 44!

i started another thread about this so hopefully some one can answer a few questions.

I guess so

 

[toy4xfun]

oh and thanks buy going out there and searching that i learned something!

now i am trying to figure out what i learned, like what makes them have not only different gaps but a different plug.

 

[85 t runner]

I hope some pros on here know which plug I need , I have the plugs out waiting for some new ones

Do yourself a favor and follow the FSM instructions and install either Denso W16EXR-U or NGK BPR5EY. Set the gap at 0.8mm / 0.031in. I trust Toyota's specs over NGK's site, and it is clear toy4xfun has no idea what he is talking about.

X2 on follow the FSM. Also don't forget to use anti-seize on the plugs when you put them in. It'll make taking them out next time much easier.

This is wrong! Buy the NGK BPR5EY and gap them to 0.031.

You did learn something - the NGK website is wrong.

Just for the hell of it I went to the NGK website and chose a 1986 4Runner. It lists 3 choices, 22RE Deluxe, 22RE SR5, and 22RE SR5 Turbo. They all list the same plug with a gap specification of 0.032. They obviously have a mistake in their 1985 gap specification for the 22RE SR5.

Do yourself a favor and follow the FSM instructions and install either Denso W16EXR-U or NGK BPR5EY. Set the gap at 0.8mm / 0.031in. I trust Toyota's specs over NGK's site, and it is clear toy4xfun has no idea what he is talking about.

This x 3. See my post in the other thread.

 

[85 t runner]

thank you , going to get 4 NGK BPR5EY , set them at 0.031 , anti-seize

this thread is an abomination and should be deleted, as there is no useful info in here that hasnt already been covered in the FAQ


plus it hurts my head to read
