Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum, as well as to my truck. It's an 88 4wd with a 22re engine, and EFI. My quandry is this: It will not stay running. It turns over fine, and then stalls out. If I give it a little throttle, it revs momentarily and eventually dies, while I continue to give it gas. The check engine light has not come on, and I have attempted to jump the ECU w/a paper clip to see if I get any reading. Before doing so, I cleaned out the contacts for a good connection. To no avail thus far. I have spent a few hours rereading prior threads to see if I could get any insight, and have been stymied to this point. Part of the uncertainty is because of my own lack of mechanical knowledge and insight. But I'm not afraid to try, and am hoping someone here may be gracious enough to impart their suggestions. Any help is gratefully appreciated. Thanks for your time....
A little background- I just bought the truck, and don't know if the fuel filter has been changed. The fuel gauge also quit working recently, and I am wondering if the fuel pump may or may not be part of the problem. The spark plugs are not fouled, other than that, I am only guessing as to any previous history on the truck, as there was little to go with when I got it. Thanks again.
