Why does my 22R gas engine not idle?

Why does my 22R gas engine not idle?

22R will not idle, fuel cut solenoid? Hope someone in this forum has some expertise on this one. I have an 81 pickup 22R gas engine with the Aisin carb. Carb was just rebuilt using the NAPA rebuild kit. Carb was soaked in carb cleaner and all passages were blown out with the air compressor.

What happens when you start up a Toyota 22R?

The choke opens normally and the engine will fast idle at 1500 rpm after about a minute. About 5 minutes after startup it suddenly drops off and dies. It will restart immediately but the throttle has to be blipped to maintain.

What’s the idle speed on a Toyota 22R?

The choke opens normally and the engine will fast idle at 1500 rpm after about a minute. About 5 minutes after startup it suddenly drops off and dies. It will restart immediately but the throttle has to be blipped to maintain. It will not idle on its own. Prior to the rebuild it was dirty and lacked power but it would startup and idle at 900rpm.

What kind of engine does a pickup 22R have?

I have an 81 pickup 22R gas engine with the Aisin carb. Carb was just rebuilt using the NAPA rebuild kit. Carb was soaked in carb cleaner and all passages were blown out with the air compressor. It now starts easily, has great throttle response, and has more power.

When does a carburetor have a lean condition?

If the idle smoothes out and gains RPM, you have a lean condition. If no improvement, or it gets worse, it is rich. If it is too rich the best idle will be achieved with the mixture screw turned all the way in (never torque a mixture screw tight, only lightly screw it in to find the seat).

Why do I have a problem with my carburetor?

When you have a carburetor problem it will be because you either have too much gas (rich), or not enough gas (lean) being mixed in with the air.

What should I do if my carburetor is stalling?

Then, back off on your idle set screw to lower your idle while continuing to spray into the carburetor. Keep backing off the screw until it is no longer contacting the throttle linkage. By doing this, you are taking away air and your car should stall, or at least idle down very low to 600 RPM or lower.

Why is the solenoid not working on my Toyota 22R?

If you put power to that solenoid and nothing moves, it’s not working. You say it makes a clicking sound, so maybe it’s just stuck. Maybe try cleaning it really good and test it again. Some part of that solenoid should be touching the throttle. That is the part that should be moving.
