      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Had an issue yesterday where I turned on my truck and it idled like normal. then after about 2 minutes it dropped to a lower idle and bogged out. I noticed that as it bogged out the engine shook pretty bad and then smoke came out of the weber. I checked the spark plugs and they were all fine. Could this mean I need a new head gasket? or is this a possible vacuum leak?]]></content:encoded>

I have a 1987 22RE 4Runner that has sat for 18 months. When I parked it 18 months ago, the clutch worked fine. I just tried to drive it and the clutch doesn&#039;t work now. These are the details:<br />

I&#039;ve seen videos of trucks with LCE headers and full exhaust system, and it sounds pretty great but the price is a bit more than I&#039;m looking to spend to make the truck a little louder. What have you guys done, or seen others do that you think sounds good without breaking the bank?]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[So I just replace my head gasket &amp; did a delete on my EGR. I started the truck up, and it runs great! The only issue is when I&#039;m driving I get a jerking motion every 30sec to 1min. The jerking motion is worst when I&#039;m coasting at a high rpm in any gear. I&#039;m thinking it the carb just needs to be tune or a cleaning since it hasn&#039;t been driven in a couple months. The other possibly could be a vacuum line could be in the wrong place because I had to cap off some lines due to the delete on the EGR]]></content:encoded>

It seems to be missing hoses but I am not sure where they go, I&#039;m not an expert with these things but always learning. Can anyone tell me what it is missing? It definitely smells a lot more than my stock carb&#039;ed truck I once had so I believe there are emissions issues with this set up as well.<br />
