Can anyone tell me why my 22R is idling so rough? I've changed the plugs, wires, rotor, and cap. I checked the timing, it wavers a little. Maybe bad tentioners or a stretched chain. That's not the problem. I just got this truck. How can you tell if it has a performance cam? I checked the vacuum out and the reading is bouncing between 15 - 17 inches. That would indicate an ignition problem. In the morning it fires right up. No problem. When I bring the RPM's up, the vacuum is srtong and steady @ 22 inches. It sounds like a damn tractor when it idles. The engine is very strong when I punch it. The idle is getting on my nerves. :cuss: And can anyone tell me what I will need when I go to do the timing chain. It seems all the parts are seperate. The timing set comes without gaskets. Sleeve? What sleeve? Some timing cover gaskets come with a sleeve. I'm new to this foriegn stuff. I've been a Chevy V-8 mechanic for nearlly all my 40 years. Now with these crazy gas prices, I had a choice, walk or drive a Toyota. Well, this fatboy ain't walkin' nowhere! :no no: Except to the fridge for a beer and a ham samich :beer: (that's "sandwich" for all you grammer teachers). :moon:
