I have a 22re that is driving me nuts in my 85 4runner automatic. I am pulling my hair out. I have an intermittant miss at idle and any constant RPM. It also stumbles before taking off if you crack the throttle from idle to WOT.

What I've checked:
checked for vacuum leaks, verified vacuum routeing. Cant' find anything wrong/leaking
When you jumper TE1 - E1 with key on engine off, I get a single flash every 4.5sec.
With engine running, when I jumper TE1 - E1 It does not bypass ECU timing advance.
Suspected TPS, Tried calibrating.
Tried 2 other known good TPS
Checked for output from TPS at ECU connector

Otherthings done:Fuel Filter, 02, Cap, Rotor, Plugs, Adjust valves, compression 135 across the board, timing set to 5BTC and 12btc, knocked out the cat

Desperate attemps:Swaped ECU, Distributor, Coil, MAF.

I have a broken timing chain guide so I was planning to do a timing chain, guide and OP next, but that shouldn't cause my inability to bypass ECU timing advance. I know the TE1 E1 jumper works because it flashes the check engine light for codes.

I have not checked the Fuel Pressure at the rail or the injectors--I don't have a banjo bolt/fitting to do this. I am throwing my hands up. I will offer $100 if someone is willing to come diagnose/fix this truck. I'm located in Alamo Heights in San Antonio. Thanks for your help.

Shoot me a PM if interested.

To clarify. This is to come diagnose and tell me what's wrong. I'll/we can fix it and I'll cover the parts cost. If it fixes the problem you get $100

Shoot me a PM or send me your number and I'll give you a ring

I have a running 88 and 85 that we can swap parts with to diagnose

I use to have problems with my injectors all the time. Which would cause it to have a bad miss or run on 3 cyl all the time. In a year i when therw 2 sets of them. One of my biggest problems was the plastic wireing harness clip and the o-rings were dry rotted and they would cause the injector to not fire or pull in air.

I ended up buy new wiring harnees clips and o-rings.

I never really missing with any of the emc stuff.

Check the intake tube from the air cleaner box to the intake manifold. If it's not tight or has cracks/holes in the bellows portion or anything it'll throw off your sensors and cause the condition you're having.

His igniter is also gets extremely hot. My buddy said to replace the coil and ignitor...and if that got hot to replace the computer with a new one.
granted I feel bad for you...I trust in him that he has pointed you in the right direction....with a electrical problem.
