Toyota Repair: idle probleme, aluminum intake, clouds of smoke


Question
hi, I have a 1990 toyota pickup, manual, 22re, 4x4. I' ve been having and idling probleme. first, when my truck is cold, its starts good but the chock dozen`t come on anymore but, as the engine gets warmer, my truck dozen`t idle anymore. Its so bad that I have to keep my foot on the gaz when im at a stop or a red light because it will die. Plus when my engine is warmed up go, if i stop the truck i can`t start it back unless i start it by compression. So far I asked alot mecanics about it and some say its the air sensor, some say its the fuel pump, some say its the fuel filter, some say its the timing chain so...... and I`ve changed all the spark plugue wires including the spark plugs. I don`t have alot of money some anything would help. thanks

Shawn,
if its an RE its fuel injected.
It would really help me if I knew how many miles are on it!
First thing to do check air intake rubber hose for loose clamps or
cracks in it(you must remove it and look at it 360 degrees. If its OK,
then the aluminum intake must be cleaned out. A full can of carb cleaner must be sprayed inside, be careful not to breath fumes and wear safety glasses. Next step jack up vehicle on passenger side
and let it sit for 15 minutes at least so residue runs back out
of intake. Remove jack and re-attach rubber air intake. Now start
vehicle, it will start hard and when it does will blow out clouds
of smoke then it will smooth out. Now drive it.
