i hear ya. the trade made sense and i am not worried about putting the work in to it. here in the washington, oregon area, these sell for thousands even beat to shit and not running. this is a super clean example of rigs that you just cant buy easily in these parts.

thanks for the input! to clarify i did not buy the 3.4 with the 4runner so right now i do not have an engine for it yet. I would like it to still be lifted to clear these 33s but yea the setup it has right now is pretty cringy. Looks like i am looking for a parts rig to put the ifs back to oem...

Whats up guys. Long time lurker here. I have wanted a 1st gen since I was a kid but they are hard to find clean and cheap these days in the PNW. Anyway, made a trade for this thing today and I could not pass it up. 3.0 v6 in unknown condition ( previous owner said he parked it a year ago and...

never fixed this thing been busy camping and working. kinda a bummer. posted it for sale but zero interest. not surprised. here is the craigslist link if anyone is interested... 1988 Toyota 4runner 22re 5 Speed!

still haven't driven this thing other than limping it home the night i bought it. sigh.

New ecu showed up today. Plugged her in and surprise surprise I am still getting code 52... Ugh. Does anyone know where the shielding around the knock sensor grounds?

i hate rust. me if i find any on a car i am looking at.

just ordered an ecu for 55 shipped... cheaper than the knock sensor so figured i would try that first... this thing is driving me nuts!!

if i search ebay for 1988 4runner knock sensor i get a ton of results for under 20 bucks. but those are for the v6. cheapest one i can find for the 22re is 140... can i get away with swapping in a cheaper one?

thanks! although i haven't even had the chance to enjoy it at all yet haha dang wiring issues... toss that ecu in a box and mail it to me! :lol:

alright... so wrenched on the 4runner all day. swapped out the MC and finally have a bit of pedal feel back. definitely needs another bleed for sure. here is some of the old brake fluid in a jim beam bottle :lol: decided to go at the code 52 i was getting that makes it run like shit...

Word. I adjusted it today and the code is gone! But now I am getting code 52...sigh...

new one from oreilys...

Replaced the tps. Same problem. Going to focus on the complete lack of brakes instead.

thanks! ya its pretty banged up around the windshield to. has some ghetto sealant around it. who knows. it was cheap enough that i dont care haha. looks like rockauto has a generic tps for 60 shipped. might order a master cylinder from them as well. seems like that is most likely my problem...
