more efi problems! 22re

toyodaaddict · Apr 29, 2012

my dad just got an 86 4runner (22re). sometimes when you go to shift the rpm's will take a few seconds before they start to drop. it also does it at idle when you rev the engine. it acts like the throttle linkage is hung up, but its not. i dont think its safe to ignore this and i want to get my dad on the trail. any ideas?

On the throttle body there's a dash pot that may need to be cleaned.

Does it do it when you rev it up under the hood?

it does it even when i manually pull the linkage back into place. im pretty sure it isn't a bind or linkage issue causeing the problem. i havnt had a chance to look into the dash pot yet. i dont see how i can clean it but maybe theres a way to test it. im hoping that will be it and i can just replace it.
