Hi all, My 1990 7m has a bad Idle Air Control Valve/Idle Speed Control Valve (IACV/ISCV). Symptoms include fluttering/weak idle at operating temp, not wanting to stay running on cold starts, and the plunger wouldn't move when I did the TSRM check by supplying power to the contacts...

Hi all, I've been living with this noise since I swapped the 7M into my 1986 4Runner. Everyone that I've talked to either has no clue, or is under the impression that it's not a big deal. I bought the motor with the impression that it had been rebuilt. If it was, I'm assuming that it wasn't...

Hi, Since February, my 1990 7M in my 4Runner has been making an odd noise. Everytime that I change the position of the gas peddle, be it driving or sitting still in neutral, it will make a rapid 3-4 click. It has the same sound as a gas stove lighter. I hear it from the drivers side only. I...

I have a 1990 7MGE in my 1986 4Runner, and I've never seen an actual Supra in person. Was traveling to a smoke report and saw a Gunmetal/pearl-gray MK3 sitting in Lyons, CO. Made me smile. I also saw a very faded red MK3 in Fort Collins later. If any of you guys roll up next to a Green FS truck...

I've been working on changing my 7MGE's valve shims. . . I busted one of the buckets, so I went ahead and took off the cams. Since everything was out, I also started cleaning up other things; intake, injectors, iacv, etc... Since the distributor was out, I figured I'd check the rotor and cap...

I'm currently doing the valve clearance adjustment on my 7M. . While following the various write-ups (flat-head screwdrivers+ magnet route), I busted/chipped a piece off of my #4 cylinder (exhaust side) shim bucket.:: angry :: Each bucket has two small channels (one on each side), and I...

Hey all, I've been driving my (1990) 7MGE '86 4Runner around North America. The power gain from the 22RE is efficient. I've ran into a few problems that I'd like to know if they're related or not. . The wires fell off of the connector for my Cold Start Injector. Now, when I first...

Hi everyone, My 7MGE-into-4Runner swap is about 99% complete. I've had the pleasure of driving it around for the past week. My current problem is the Idle. At first it was extremely high. We figured out that it was the Idle Air Control Valve (IACV). After replacing the IACV, Cleaning the...

Hi, I'm trying to finish up my 7M swap into my 1986 4Runner, and the computer is throwing Code 27. The FSM says that this is the Sub-O2 sensor. . . I didn't have a donor car, only the motor/ecu when doing this project, so I didn't get to see the exhaust. I'm assuming that either/or/both...

I'm doing a 7MGE swap into my 1986 4Runner. I'm coming to the end of my nightmare, but I still have one hang-up. I'm not putting the MAFS in the stock position. I am routing it straight off of my throttle body on to my passenger-side fender wall. . My only problem is connecting the two. Since...

Hi all, First I'd like to say that everyone on this forum has been a great help! I'm currently puting a ~'89 7MGE into my 1986 4Runner. I started off by swapping out my front IFS for a solid axle swap (SAS). The Front 4.88 gearing Mechanical locker Solid axle swap...

I'm currently swapping a 7MGE into my 1986 4Runner. I know that I'm going to need to fabricate my exhaust system, being that the exhaust manifold on the 7MGE and 22RE are on opposite sides of the motors. . . I currently live in South Dakota where there are zero emission standards. EVERYONE uses...
