Engine Mechanical problem
1982 Toyota Pickup 4 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual 78K? miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I have this 1982 4x4 PU with allegedly 78K miles on it. It is the 20R motor and it runs fine when it is cold but after it warms up it will die at an idle(900)rpm. If i am at freeway speeds there seems to be no problem but in town she dies at each stoplight. I have replaced the fuel filter twice and i do regular tuneups and maintenance. Could this be an intake manifold problem? THANK YOU for your help. Jon

Hi jchambers2000,

Guess must be a carb model.

Either the idling circuit is clogged or there is a vacumn leakage at the manifolds.
