well, here's the deal been looking for a yota for a while now and I finally found her. For the deal I got I felt I couldn't pass it up. It's a 92 4x4 w/ the 22R-E and 33x12.50's. So, here are my main four concerns....
(1)= When breaking steering wheel goes haywire.... Like tie-rod end loose or something of that nature. Jacked it up and jerked the tire back and forth and everthing seems to look ok..... to me.... Intermediate shaft moves w/ wheel. Since I just got her tonight no time to investigate further. *be at work at 7* Just wondering if you all had some clues/thoughts. There is some play in the steering so I am going to try to adjust it tomorrow.
(2)= pretty major oil leak from front of engine. Can't really tell right now b/c too much oil.... will try to pressure wash it and see where it's coming from. Didn't know if the 22RE had any known reoccuring problems w/ seals in the front.
(3)= tons of slop in the shifter.... she's a manual. seems like slop to the passenger side only.. Just seeing if you all could point me in the right direction.
(4)= idles at 250~500 rpm's. when manual says 750. Sometimes dies when coming to a stop and having both clutch and brake applied.
So, sorry for the long spill.... I just got her and I'm pretty exited, just need to work the kinks out. As for why I bought her in this condition.... 1992 yota w/ 160,000 orig. miles in great shape body wise for 1k. Yeah, I kinda felt like I robbed him. But now, I'm kinda starting to wonder. I'm hoping it can all be fixed pretty easily.
