Hi, I recommend you take pictures while taking things apart so you will remember how they go back together. I have pasted the procedure below from autozone.com. The procedure says to drain the coolant. I don't believe that is necessary. If there is a coolant hose on your carburetor, have something like a rag handy to plug the hose when you take it off. There cannot be a lot of coolant in the carburetor, if any. You can also skip the step of disconnecting the battery cable. Also, you may want to tag wires and hoses before removing them if you aren't sure you'll remember where they went to. When disconnecting the fuel line, we usually use a line wrench, unless the fitting uses a regular bolt. If you don't have a line wrench, use an open end wrench. If the open end wrench is going to strip the fitting, go buy or borrow a line wrench. Do not use vice grips on the fuel fitting. Don't leave stuff sitting on the manifold that may fall into the engine while you're taking the carburetor off, and stuff rags in the holes while the carb is off the engine. If the old gasket is good and you don't have a new one you can reuse the old one. If you have a new one, make sure any old gasket material stuck to the maniflod is cleaned off with a putty knife. The last step is to check the float level. If you believe your new carburetor has been properly adjusted for your truck, you can skip that step. If you aren't sure, you could always adjust it later if the truck seems to run lean or rich. The procedure and specification (float level) should be included with the carburetor. If you get stuck or have questions along the way, please get back to me.


REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Loosen the radiator drain plug and drain the coolant into a suitable container.
CAUTION When draining coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted by ethylene glycol antifreeze, and are quite likely to drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantity. Always drain coolant into a sealable container. Coolant may be reused unless it is contaminated or several years old.
  1. Unscrew the mounting screws and remove the air filter housing. Disconnectall hoses and lines leading from the air cleaner.
  2. Tag and disconnect all fuel, vacuum, coolant and electrical lines or hoses leading from the carburetor.
  3. Disconnect the accelerator linkage from the carburetor. On trucks equipped with an automatic transmission, disconnect the throttle cable linkage running from the transmission.
  4. Remove the four carburetor mounting bolts and lift off the carburetor and its gasket.

Cover the manifold opening with a clean rag to prevent objects from falling into the engine.
To install:
  1. Install the carburetor, tighten the mounting bolts and reconnect all linkages.
  2. Connect the vacuum and fuel lines; connect the wiring harness.
  3. Install the air cleaner assembly, making sure it is correctly seated on the carburetor.
  4. Refill the coolant. Connect the negative battery cable.
  5. Start the engine and check for any leaks. Check the float level.

The 1984 Toyota 4x4 pickup truck will not idle

On a 1984 Toyota I would look for a screw to set the low speed idle on the carburetor, if so equipped. Turn the screw until the RPMs are reasonable.

If you can maintain a smooth idle by adjusting the screw your home free.

If not, then there could be other problems with your vehicle's emission, ignition, comprression, or fuel.

My 1989 Toyota Van LE 4wd started squeaking when I turn left

Actually this sounds more like your left tire is rubbing against the tire well, this was relatively common amongst these models, as I have one myself that did that while turning right, I solved it by hammering out the dent that was in the well. Hope this helped GL!

1989 toyota truck, Starts , runs perfect then

make sure your hose from the idle air control (IAC) valve, on the throttle intake, is not leaking. i just went through this myself. it is a small hose that connects to a nipple directly next to the thermostat housing, and the other end goes to the nipple of the IAC. you may not even notice a leak. if this doesnt fix it, the IAC is probably shot. also, make sure your coolant is topped off with the heater on before you do ANY of this. toyotas are seriously "coolant-dependent" trucks, and sometimes that is all that is needed. hope this helps
