1992 3VZE Runner stalling after acceleration

[LaurelRidgeR]

I have a 92 Runner....probably a stupid thing to ask but maybe see what others experiences are.

Starts and Idles fine...put it in gear and accelerate for 10 seconds it shuts completely down. Fuel or Spark issue I'm assuming, but just looking for a place to start or if anyone has experienced similar when something happened.

Just for starters check your fuel filter, check your fuel return valve, and get a fuel pressure gauge on your fuel rail. Couple of writeups around here on monitoring fuel pressure.

Had similar experience with 90 T4r 4x4, once temperature gauge moved to normal range the vehicle ran fine.

Not sure if incident is related?; had an occasion where the temperature gauge pegged out to the full hot position, had to keep the engine running and eventually the temp. gauge would move back to the normal range. Repeated the process for the entire 40 mile return home. Not sure if it had anything to do with fixing the stalling problem; the next day, placed the truck on steep incline and (burped) the cooling system using water and freon solution?

Posted a thread describing the problem where member's chimed in with suggestions. I failed to follow-up and report back, having burped the cooling system, as described by Chris (flyinhawaiian01) there has not been an issue with the fluctuation temperature gauge; nor has the engine stalled when taking off. Again not sure if one has anything to do with the other?

It's always something with these 3. slows. I love it but I hate it.

Anyways, when I have the AC off it runs just fine, a little break up in the low end but I know I have a leaky gasket in the first 2 cylinders.

I think it's an AC belt issue as it has been squealing.

Will try a quick fix, if not it's finally going on the classifieds

If turning the A/C on or off affects it check your idle air valve and associated systems.
