85 Toyota-stumble @ crusing speed
I'm looking for help with a problem on a 1985 Toyota 4Wd pick-up. The carb has been replaced with a new unit recently to fix a poor idle and rich condition. The engine now has good idle, runs smooth and has good power when accelerating. But on a long trip, say 100 miles and the engine warmed up, it has a slight stumble or sputter when cruising at 50-60 mph. Any suggestions on what to check would be appreciated!!! My first suspect is the distributor, and perhaps the vacuum advance. JSM84

Just to update:
May have solved the problem. Loose spark plugs. Did a tune-up recently, tried the Bosch Platinum plugs. When removing the old ones, found a couple that were very loose. The Toyota didn't like the Bosch's, ran terrible, so switched back to the same Champion plugs. Engine runs great now, no stumble!!! JSM84

![]() Had that happen to me back when I bought my first Nova(1989). A mechanic said that I needed a rebuild. Lucky, my older brother talked me out of that and he looked at it. Found out that all the plugs were loose. He gave it a tune-up and ran great for two years before I sold it. Needles to say, that Mechanic is now out of business. Mike
