What part is this on a 22re intake?

2 auto part stores didn’t really no what it was

Appears to be the throttle body quadrant. If you're referring to the thing with rubber bellows on it, it's the idle control dashpot.

Well I’ll call tomorrow and tell them I need a new dashpod. My idle is high right now. 12-2000 rpm. Makes it very hard to shift with out clutch since the rpm won’t come down. Sometimes won’t go go in 2nd or takes forever. Higher gears aren’t bad

[mla2ofus]

Remove the dashpot first to see if it is the problem. If you keep shifting without the clutch eventually you'll be grinding gears with or without the clutch when the synchonizers wear out.

What will happen if I remove the dashpod? And I bought it with 236k and it has over 305k and shifts great. My knee can’t handle using the clutch

You'll find out if the dashpot is causing the high idle. If it still has high idle then there might be something on the other end of the throttle shaft causing it. As for the synchros, it's your cow so milk her however you want.

I took it off and the rpm seems to drop faster then normal. But I can live with it. I may get a new part tomorrow since it seems to let the rpm float and dwell for a sec when reving. Thanks mike!

Surprising that a parts store wouldn't recognize a dashpot, they've been around for many, many years, their sole purpose is to dampen the closing of the throttle plates.

[motolife313]

Ya I think I stick a new one on so it dampens it. Thanks

If you don't know what it does - you can't know what it is called - or vice
versa . . .

Auto Part Clerks are not mechanics - when you ask them, 'for mechanical
remedies' - you are automatically put on the 'back burner' of customer
service . . .

I know: because I am an informed buyer - standing - next-in-line suffering
from your inept diatribe . . . finally, you leave - to gather more data . . .

The Clerk vents . . . and I hear how much he loves you . . .

They sell product - not information - if you have not developed a reciprocal
informational relationship - with '3/6 practicing mechanic' [for a 6-Pac] you
will never be a foundational welder . . .

A "GOOD" parts man will know his/her stuff, unfortunately most of the chainstores hire minimum wage people that don't give a rat's azz, they have no incentive to give a crap. I have gotten to the point that I try to order everything from Rockauto or Amazon, & that sux because our local NAPA jobber is a good friend of mine and hires parts monkeys that don't know sh1t.

CAVEMANN - Is correct . . .

In the - Oldie Golden Days of Detroit Iron - Auto Clerk were often
senior/retiring mechanics - and they knew everything . . .

This is not the case today - you have to 'go/be' infromed . . .

Thanks hobbytime. One guy did call it a fast idle but couldn’t find it in the computer. I ordered one from the Toyota dealer yesterday. Doesn’t seem to rev as high and good without the dash pod either. I keep reving it a touch short without it in. And it’s almost hard to keep up with putting it in gear. I like the dwell time of the dashpod

[bigb]

dashpot, not dashpod. A dash pod is a vacuum pod in the HVAC system of certain vehicles, located behind the dash hence the name.

The computer IS the PROBLEM in the modern parts store. I have worked for NAPA on 2 different occasions, long before computers, as a parts counter person you must know how to use that 6 or 7 foot conglomeration of books to serve your customers, today the average guy doesn't even know how to open a book, let alone a parts catalog. These remarks are based on my experience in numerous parts stores in the Phoenix area. In fairness I did find one gal working at an Autozone that new her stuff, and another guy at an Autozone in Deming, New Mexico, he was an oldtimer.

Ill add to that..with google and all the other search engines out there, most people have LOST there deductive reasoning and ability to solve problems..if they cant get a quick answer from online or watch a you tube video on how to they are lost..now in the hands of the right person these added resources can be a great enhancement , but you need the basics first...

What's always humorous to me is when a business loses power and salespeople have to make change with their brain instead of the cash register telling them how.

or giving extra change to get all paper money back, or adding a few dollars to get a 5 back instead of singles..they stare into space till its explained to them..

Na they just can't sell anything. Like the Nationwide Target register failure recently.

When you want Toyota info go to Toyota forums (there are many) and don't forget your local dealer can pull up exploded views of older parts even if they no longer stock them.

Get good at research and you can buy most of your parts online saving gobs of money. Works for me.

Quick question, have you reconnected the breather hose to the throttle body (circled in yellow) and messed with the idle screw adjustment (circled in red) at all?
The idle screw looks backed WAY out which would raise your idle, and if there are any vacuum leaks you'll get a raised and erratic idle. Also, what RPM is your idle running at cold start, and what's it at up to temp?

[motolife313]

Cold start it high. About 2000 rpm when in the 30’s outside. I’d like to see it at 1500 rpm. And I just let that breather chill out there. There another breather I think that goes in the intake. I’ll try and adjust the screw for a lower cold start. My rpm is at 1000 when warm. Still got the dashpod off and it’s working fine now. My rpm was up for a week or more and it through me off when it went back to normal. Just took a few days to get my muscle memory back to rev it right. It’s wanting to run really cold lately when I’m the freeway and the temp is dropping way down and it raises the rpm I’ll try a new thermostat soon. This happened after putting in antifreeze couple days ago. And the same time I think the antifreeze messed up my head gasket somehow. Bad head gasket? No water the the oil I don’t think. I got some stuff in front of the radiator to help it run hotter on the freeway. its got over 308 k on it. I’ll do the head gasket real quick if it’s bad and have my friend mill the head. Also I’ll touch up the valve job. Thanks!
