I have an 1989 Toyota 4runner with the 22re EFI. It has approx 180k on it. I just changed out the timing cover gasket, oil pan gasket, valve cover gasket, clutch, throwout bearing, and thermostat. I made sure the timing marks were lined up as should be. Engine compression is good. approx 150 to 175 on all cyls except for number 3 which was 125. Maf checks good, Cat is not restricted, Timing is good. Fuel seems good. Vacuum lines are routed correctly. Problem is I am guttless. I have no power. I am ok in first, but as soon as I go to second on up I just feel like I am bogged down. Unless I rev the motor and clutch to the max before shifting I am flat on my face. I have pretty much run out of ideas and hoping someone here can give me some advice. and No the Ebrake is not stuck on ... hehe.


Thanks in advance

Fuel pressure seems good or is good. Timing chain hasn't jumped a tooth?
Air flow meter ok? Thats more of a stumble. I would say a fuel deliverly problem i.e filter ,weak pump or t-chain has skipped a tooth.
good luck

I would run a leak down test. Try to find out why you only have 125 PSI out of # 3. It can possibly be a chipped valve.
