I have owned about a million 22r & 22re p/u trucks and ive learned alot. Now ive seen alot of posts stateing that there 22re is almost imposible to start.. first of all there is a small silinoid on the R/H side of the upper intake (its easy to get too right on top) this is the cold start purge solinod. What it does is give a burst of gas into the intake while the motor is cranking. loosen the nut (be carefull because is might be under pressure) if it is then tighten it up and have a buddy turn the key to the start position while you check the wires for power. ( make sure the truck wont start) dont wanna get hurt. if you have power and fuel pressure then replace the sensor. Now back to step #1 if you did not have fuel pressure then you will need to locate the fuel pressure regulator(On the passenger side of the intake close to the firewall) remove it and blow into the port (If you can blow through it then it is bad) Replace it. If it is ok then well its fuel pump time $$$$$$$$$.
