have a 1981 Toyota SR5 pickup truck. It's four-wheel drive, 5-speed
manual transmission, with a 22R engine (2.4L). I've been having an
intermittent problem with it for a while where it stalls when the
engine
reaches idle speed. So, when the problem is present, the truck will
stall
every time I stop or if I hold the clutch in long enough for the engine
to
reach idle speed. As long as you keep the RPM's up enough, you can
prevent it from stalling.
This problem does not occur at any specific time. It doesn't just
happen
when it's hot or cold or a specific season or whatever, but seems to
occur
randomly. I'll just be driving along and then I can feel it wanting to
stall all of a sudden. I can tell it wants to stall when the truck
starts
bucking and lurching a little. It disappears as fast as it arrives
sometimes, but other times it just keeps stalling and stalling, which
is
extremely annoying in stop and go city traffic. After it stalls and I
restart it, the starting is hard and it seems to crank more than it
should
before it starts. Getting up to freeway speeds for a little while after

the truck has been wanting to stall seems to make the problem go away
most
of the time (at least for a while), but occasionaly the truck does the
bucking on the freeway too.
Thanks
