    1985 4Runner wont stay running after changing headgasket

    so a few months ago my 22re headgasket blew. i got finished putting it all back together not too long ago (for the most part, which i'll get to in a second). tried starting it up and it just wont stay running. it barely starts but then just dies. im thinking its not getting enough fuel. i dont...

    0-100 - 1985 4runner Build Thread

    been forever since i posted here so i thought i might give a little update. since I last posted, a few major things have happened (nothing good). i ended up rebuilding the tranny since 1st, 3rd, and 4th ended up going out. it shifted great after that. unfortunately a few months ago the...

    How to Replace/Repair Knock Sensor Wiring?

    I actually did get this fixed! There is a metal insulation that goes around the wire that is completely unnecessary. Follow the wire back to the ECU and see if the insulation goes all the way to where the wire connects to the ECU. If it does, simply cut the insulation right before it goes into...

    Can't tighten/loosen nut on steering box?

    ok, so something weird is goin on. I havn't done anything to the truck since my last posts because I'm very lazy, but anyway, I went to work this morning, truck ran/drove like usual, but then after work, there's a weird buzzing/homing kind of noise, and there is a loud rubbing sounding noise...

    Can't tighten/loosen nut on steering box?

    for some reason i have never been able to figure out these drive way alignments, is there a good write up or something you could recommend? thanks! i won't be able to test this for probably a couple days, but you mean basically just jiggle the tire once off the ground, right? i've done this...

    Can't tighten/loosen nut on steering box?

    The adjusting screw in the image you showed is what's stuck for me. I can loosen the nut, but the screw seems to be bound to it (if that makes sense). maybe it's because i didn't life the front end off the ground...?

    Can't tighten/loosen nut on steering box?

    Ok, I'll try and do the test with the tires on the ground when i get the chance. the last time i got an alignment was MAYBE 2-3 months ago? i don't remember, but what i do know is that they did not do a very good job (i have an aftermarket steering wheel, and instead of adjusting the tie rod...

    Can't tighten/loosen nut on steering box?

    Sorry for being so unclear, i wrote my post at like 3 am :D Yes, i mean the freeplay adjustment, i can't seem to turn it no matter what I do. and yes, i have stock steering. so, i lifted the front of the truck just now and had someone turn the wheel. as far as i could tell, there is not any...

    Can't tighten/loosen nut on steering box?

    Hello, i have a 1985 4runner, 22re 5-speed solid front axle bla bla bla. Anyway, the steering on the thing is disgustingly sketchy, really sloppy. I have replaced the steering stabilizer (kinda helped not really) and the tie rod ends (did't do anything as far as I can tell). the next thing that...

    How to Replace/Repair Knock Sensor Wiring?

    No worries! One of my friends has an 89 pickup with a 22re, I'll see if I can get him to let me test his sensor out sometime

    How to Replace/Repair Knock Sensor Wiring?

    is it possible an exhaust leak could cause this issue (I wouldn't think so but who knows). otherwise, I'm guessing my truck is just screwed...?

    How to Replace/Repair Knock Sensor Wiring?

    So, I checked my continuity today, and the multimeter stayed at 0.. So, doesn't that mean everything should be working? What do i do now?

    How to Replace/Repair Knock Sensor Wiring?

    Thank you for explaining the continuity thing for me. I will test it when I get to my truck this weekend. I was looking on rock auto originally, but that price tag turned me to get a used one (i only paid like $45). I will post back here once I test the continuity.
