SOURCE: need to replace timing chain 1994 toyota truck has

Be sure to replace all the gears, tensioners, guides and seals if your going to replace the chain. Perhaps the water pump as well if it hasnt been replaced in a while. Sounds like alot of work with that many miles unless the engine has good compression on all cylinders and the head is in good shape as well. You might consider finding another engine if you plan on keeping this truck for a while. By the time you do all the work and pay for all the parts to do the timing chain, you could find a low mileage engine for a few bucks more as long as its tested for compression and has documented miles on it.

SOURCE: I just replaced the fuel pump on my 1987 toyota

You bet.

Also check the timing belt. If the distributor is not turing the fuel pump also will not run.

Hope this tip helps.

I have an old 1987 toyota 4 x 4 with a r22 engine. Just recently it started making a loud rattling sound when i would accelarate. Sounds like its coming from the catalytic converter its also turning red...

The cat converter is breaking up inside, blocking some gas flow, causing it to heat itself. May eventually block it enough to cause rough running or completely shutting the truck down. No repairs are possible. It must be replaced. Most people just remove it & put a straight pipe in its place. But that's illegal. And you didn't hear that from me. Well, who looks under a 26 year old truck?

We bought a 1987 Toyota pickup but we think the motor was changed how do we find out what year the motor is?

You should be able to take the serial number from the block and find out. You may need to check with the dealer or a salvage yard for the breakdown of the number.

1987 toyota pickup brake lines need replaced

Best of luck with that. You need a lot of PB or WD40

But honestly, brakes may just be the first of your problems.
Gas lines, mounts, exhaust and of course the frame are all next
I literally had a truck frame break in half
Sometimes its just time, IMHO

I have a 1987 toyota pickup 22r carburetor i replaced the head gasket 2000 miles ago and now it blew again i had the head milled and new head bolts and i used a felpro head gasket what do i do now?

The 22R engine is one of the best engines Toyota built.

With the head off, you should have had the head gasket surface machined and the head checked pressure checked for cracks. It seems you did so.

I can only assume, you MAY have put the bolts back in without bowing out the cylinder block bolt holes before installing the bolts. These bolt holes fill with oil and antifreeze when you remove the head.

Doesn't matter how careful you are, the bolt holes always fill with fluid.

If so, the bolt torque would be reached before full clamping of the cylinder head. Worst of all, the block could have been cracked by the hydraulic pressure in the bolt hole as you tightened the bolt.

Carburator why is choke sticking?

Mine use to get dirty and the shafts would build up gunk and get too stiff for the choke spring to move the butterfly valves closed. I would suggest getting carb cleaner and soak the valve shafts and move them back and forth. Start the engine and let it warm up. Shut off engine and spray valves. Now that it is warm, any gas pedel press should open the valves back up and be free to move.. If the valves stays closed, check and see if the rod from the side of the valve shaft is still in place down to the trottle input shaft. Movement of these valves is very light to the touch when the shafts are clean. There is a ratchet mechanism that should hold and move the valve depending on the temperature of the coil. Hope this helps.

1987 dodge ram 50 sport bogging at 55mph

The carburator needs to be retuned under a load to correct the problem. Take the truck back to the place were the carburator was worked on, and have them to check the carburator out for correct adjustments. Hope this will help you !!

My 1987 Toyota Tercel will not run. It will start, but wont stay crunk unless im giving it gas. I check for vacuum leaks and no sucess.?

if you have a carburator then you have a blocked idle jet, simple job unscrew **** dirt out clean jet hole through, replace, (change or fit fuel filter to prevent it happening again. )
to tune is simple replace jet start motor and warm up . when at operating temp turn jet out and then in till motor runs rough then screw back out til motor smooth out , and runs sweet, if it cuts out when slowing car down (while driving) screw need to come out a slight bit more

Is it a Fuel Choke

the problem you are stating here could be a combination of problems, meaning it could not be solve with a single solution.

based from your description, it could be starving fom gas .

it would starve from gas if the filter is clogged( fuel filter) then before the carburator, there is still a strainer. might be a good place to check that one too.

then the tank as your mechanic has stated, could be dirty and needs to go down.
another thing to look at the tank is the water. since it is getting cold, water condensate couls slip in specially on cold weather.

then the carburator itself. it may have a clogged cavity or dirt could have accumulated and could not be solve by spraying with carburator cleaners.

try those things first and thanks for asking me,
