fuel system problem on 22re

[sushi monster]

I recently bought an '86 Runner and it has a hopped up 22RE motor. Supposedly it has an adjustable cam gear and the head is shaved some. Here is my problem......when I am driving down the road I smell raw or fouled out fuel. Also when I am driving at a constant speed the check engine light comes on and then I can shift gears or give it more gas and the light goes off. The motor has good power and idles like a dream but I am only getting like 9 mpg. The air flow meter looks like it has been taken apart and the plug over the adjustment screw has been knocked out and you can tell that someone has been tuning it. I dont really understand why anyone would take the thing apart when I understand that it only measures the incoming air. I am wondering if that could be my problem or if could be my throttle position sensor. Can you test an air flow meter? if so how and what am I looking for? Also can you test a throttle position sensor? I really need some help.

You may have several problems but the biggest issue right now is your AFM. I suggest you borrow one from a friend or buy one. They can cause a lot of problem if you play with the adjustment. It would be pretty hard to set it up to stock if you don`t know where it was. That can also use up a lot of gas because of this.

Don`t forget that the point of installing a cam is to improve performance. This also will cost more on gas.

As for the smell of gas, start chasing the fuel lines, tank, fuel rail, etc. for leaks

whats the code for you check engine?
