Where's the gas filter on '94, 2wd, short bed PU, 22RE??

Hi guys,

Just got the above vehicle.

Based on my experience of trying to find the filter on my former '85 PU
I thought I'd just ask instead of searching. On the '85 I took it to
speedy lube for them to spot the filter location, they couldn't find it
(I know, they aren't the sharpest guys on earth). Had to go to a
dealer and have them tell me.

So, any one got a clue??

thanks in advance,

Doug

On my 93 22RE it's under the intake manifold, bolted to the side of the
engine block. A real pain in the ass to change!

and above the starter. If someone gave a less than $50 quote to
replace the damn thing I'd take them up on it. I suppose it might be
easier the next time, tho' I hope to not do it again.

I once read a post in this newsgroup that the reason Toyota put them there
is to keep people from replacing them. Supposedly, there is so much filter
surface in the ones supplied for fuel-injected engines (as opposed to the
old filters on carburated 22R's) that they don't ever need to be replaced
and people are just wasting their money by replacing them at some regular
interval.

Why not Google it-- it was an interesting post from someone supposedly in
the know.

Cheap insurance to replace at 75k or so miles - cost like $25. Never know
what's in the gas ya buy. Yup pain to get to --- did mine when I had trans
out to replace the clutch - tad easier. Make sure you have metric flare
wrench so you don't round off the fuel line connectors.

Its such a pain to replace. Just bite the bullet and drop the starter,
replace the filter, put starter back on.Just Not worth all the effort
working around it.Its easy to get to once you remove the starter.

It's on the side behind the little door.

There are larger doors -- also on the sides -- that you use to get in and
out. Wait a bit, and I'll come over and show you how they work.
