90 4x4 22RE acceleration problem

Oct 17, 2007 2 Replies

Hi:



I have a stubborn problem with acceleration on my 1990 4x4 Toyota truck with 22RE engine.



It has poor acceleration in almost any gear UNTIL I either floor the accelerator OR the RPM climbs high enough (perhaps over 3000 rpm?). It seems almost a like a vacuum advance problem except that this engine doesn't have such a system.



It idles fine and it accelerates like a bat out of hell once I floor the accelerator or the rpm gets high enough. I've checked the plugs, air gap in the distributor. Timing is right on 5 degrees with the appropriate contacts shorted out.



Any ideas that I could look at?

And I was wondering if possibly the Air Flow Meter could be the culprit. Has anyone had experience with troubles from that part?

Yep! The AFM can cause that. See:
