Toyota 22RE Tune-Up 

Thanks for the compliment. Have fun working on your 22RE.

Timmy, where do you buy these air hoses/red ones? For a good fit

Thanks Tom. We appreciate your nice compliment.

Yeah, you can't go wrong with OEM. Sean and I like to make these videos as comprehensive as possible so we like to provide things like part numbers, tools used, and torque specs to make it easier for people to complete the job and do it right.

I was turned onto these by my buddy Jordan. They are very handy.

Interesting. I haven't bothered checking spark plug gaps for years.

@@TimmyTheToolman one day just randomly check to see if the gap is correct you might be surprised

You're very welcome. Thanks for the compliment. We try our best to give people the detail necessary to be successful. We gear our videos to the absolute beginner so we don't lose or confuse people. Happy Wrenching!

@@TimmyTheToolman By the way, I have owned my 1985 Toyota since 1986 and never knew why the Phillips screws were always a bit off on the fit. I was not aware of JIS until watching this.

@@NorthPaddle I only learned about JIS around 6 years ago. Never heard of it until then. That's one of the cool things about the internet and sharing information. Glad we could pass on some knowledge to you.

Yeah, I was happy to see that.

You're welcome, and thanks for the thumbs up.

Thanks!

Toyota OEM Baby!

Thanks Antonio.

No, not necessary.

Thank Liam and you're very welcome.

You're welcome Daniel. We're glad you like the video.

You're welcome!

At this point no, but it's something that will happen eventually.

Yes, very easy.

You're welcome.

Interesting. The cap I used was a Toyota OEM distributor cap. Who sells a cap with copper connections? It sort of sounds like this might be more of a problem with the o-ring on the distributor cap being bad. It's my understanding that moisture getting into any distributor is going to wreak havoc.

I don't think it matters Dude. The ends are pretty much the same on both ends of the coil wire so I think you can get away with connecting in either orientation.

Yeah, my buddy Jordan who owns a 1st Gen told me the same thing about that buzzer. I'll probably disable it at some point. I don't drive my 85 enough for it to be that annoying.

You're welcome Jason. Glad you found our video helpful.

We have our 22RE Engine Replacement series, where we have to build up the rebuilt engine, but I honestly don't remember the installation of a knock sensor. I just looked it up and it's up and to the left of the oil filter under the intake manifold on the engine block. You disconnect the electrical connector and spin it off with a wrench.

Hey Lauren, We pretty much show all the things you need to do for a tune-up in our Valve Cover Gasket Replacement video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N5fAXAuGozI.html You'll just have to pick your way through the video to see all the areas that relate. You would want to replace the spark plugs, spark plug wires, clean the throttle body, clean the MAF (Mass Air Flow Sensor), and replace the air filter. That's pretty much it Lauren. It's a very straight forward job. I highly recommend you get Toyota spark plug wires because they come with all the plastic keepers and everything is already in order. We provide links to all the parts needed in the video. The wires we link in the video don't come from Toyota but they are Toyota OEM equivalent. You'll want the dual electrode spark plugs and not the single electrode. The biggest mistake you could make is getting the spark plug wires on wrong but it's almost hard to do this because of how the wires come. You'll see what I mean when you get the wires in your hands. Great to hear you've been putting our videos to good use. If you have any questions, you know where to find us. Good luck with the job and Happy Wrenching!

Thanks. We're glad you like it.

Hey James, an engine can run better with refurbished fuel injectors but it's not necessarily what someone would do as part of an engine tune-up. I've never tried cleaning them myself but there's companies that do it for a fair price like Motorwest Performance in Southern California. Lots of guys have had great luck using their services and buying injectors from them.

Not sure how to do this on a 22RE motor. With vehicles that have an OBD II reader, you can pull this info from the ECU but these older rigs don't have an OBD II reader.

Do you mean you changed all those parts to fix a misfire problem and the misfire is still happening?

We don't, at least not yet.

You're very welcome!

Did you notice a big change in power ?

@@williamtsol636 No change in power but the motor seems to idle a little smoother.

They are wet on the spark plug wire side or the electrode side that provides the spark inside the cylinder?

@@TimmyTheToolman they were wet on the electrode side and just as added info, i re-checked them again right before replying to your comment and they weren't wet anymore, i did however notice that the electrodes were super crusty for 2,3, & 4, i just replaced them about 5 months ago 😮

@@ernestoriestra8367 Sounds like you're getting some oil blow by from worn piston rings. As long as it runs ok, I wouldn't worry about it.

@@TimmyTheToolman thanks 👍🏿 could that cause misfires?

@@ernestoriestra8367 I think it could if the oil blow by is significant enough to foul the plug. But, I suggest you do a compression check to see the health of your cylinders. If any of them are low, follow it up with a leak down test.

I have heard the timing chain guide is a weakness on these motors. As time goes on, I will delve deeper into this motor and learn more about it. My engine drinks oil so I'm toying with the idea of replacing the valve stem seals to see if that helps. The motor in my rig sat for a long time in storage so I think the valve stem seals dried up and are letting lots of oil get past.

Timmy The Toolman yes they are so be careful the last thing you want is something similar happening to you like what happen to me just a heads up also my timing cover got really damaged from when the chain broke off and it was spinning came in contact with the timing cover and broke off alot of aluminum from it and yes these little motors are great but they are notorious for burning oil mine burned oil I had to keep pouring 1 qt. into it every 2-3 weeks or so

@@edwinthetechnician6578 Thanks for the heads up on these motors.

Timmy The Toolman no problem anytime glad I can help because your videos have me alot with my wife’s 01 3rd gen 4runner

Good to know I can still be entertaining.

@@TimmyTheToolman Your videos are THE BEST! Keep up the great work Timmy, and looking forward to more shirts, if you've got em to show support!

@@1420MHZ Thanks Brother! Sean will probably come up with more t-shirt designs as time goes on.

DK327 our most recent design is still in stock. What size are you?

@@TimmyTheToolman I'll take an XL if you got em, is it different design than the 1st one?

Ok, you don't like the intro music, but that's all you got for us? What about the rest of the video which is the other 99.9%? If this all you can offer when commenting on our videos, find another channel.to troll.

@@TimmyTheToolman Mate, stuff this guy. I reckon the intro music awesome! I love the simple yet stylish break beat, the overdrive on the highs paired with the smooth clean sound on the mids! Could you let me know the song and artist?

In regards to what? Put it on every fastener?
