Proud owner of 82 pickup , 22R. . so what? warm up the vehicle. this is a heavy duty engine. if you do your research, you will learn that in 83,Toyota addressed concerns about ''engine drag'' and ''sluggish performance''. Their remedy ? Reduce the width of the timing chain by 50% and use polymer (plastic) teeth on the flywheel. The result ?
Damaged timing chains. Post 1982.
The 81-82 Toyota 22R is the best engine ever made. Do your research.

wtf, buy a new truck

uhm, lol my last comment, way off :p
i'd say carb :p
-
oil getting into pistons (broken/dried/cracked/missing oil ring), can clog the spark plugs o.o
mine had that happen.. and eventually threw a rod cause i went against a chevy nova (street rod, he was messing with me-.-) with three cylinders on the freeway... It's still dead, awesome truck :p
-
fuel fillter and some methelhydrate never hurt either.

Seems surprisingly fast if you ask me!

probly the carb. my friends 82 had trouble starting and still ran a bit rough and underpowered. got a new carb and runs perfect. great little trucks and it actually feels more brisk and capable than his 02 ranger. even after over a year since i posted my last comment it still runs excelent and hasn't had any problems
Hey Guys. Thanks for the comments. I have a complete, stock carb sitting in my garage now. I'm going to rebuild it and then have it installed by my mechanic (since I don't have all the necessary test equipment and tools). In the meantime, the truck runs well enough. I was really pushing it in the video, which is not really what this truck was built for. I expect it will be a dog even with the stock carb.
