Need Help 92 22re cough/bogging while driving
OK so Im going to give as much info as possible. I am a decent back yard mechanic but dont have many high tech tools. Where to start. About a month ago I started to get an occasional bog when restarting the truck when hot. It would idle ok but act like something was building up pressure and not letting the truck go. I would be in neutral and couldnt get the rpms to come up then it would hesitate and want to die. Now on the way home from fishing and towing a boat yesterday. The truck was idling great but had a crazy bog / power drop while in mid to high rpms. It was kind of choking and general power loss. I was lucky to get home... So I was thinking bad gas, fuel filter (replaced 18k miles ago), bad fuel pump, cat clogged? Could you guys give me any tips where to start? I dont have a fuel pressure gauge. I was planning on taking my truck to my cabin tonight but I dont think thats going to happen now unless I can this fixed ASAP... Thanks in advance for the help. I'll try to check back often to see what everyone thinks and can provided more info if needed.

First thing I would look at would be ignition timing. Make sure you have the diagnostic terminals jumped before you adjust timing following this guide.

Question: How much do you drive this, is it your daily driver? If you drive it daily, it probably isn't bad gas but could possibly restricted fuel flow like a filter or a faulty fuel pump.
Timing is a good place to start if you have a timing gun or know someone that does, if not, I'd check your exhaust and make sure it's clear and noting is inside it like mud or a potato or a small squeak toy.... whatever.
Also pull all of your spark plugs to make sure there aren't any sort of weird issue with them.

Cool thanks guys I'll take a look at this tonight. Anyway I have my timing advanced to 8 deg. It really helps with the power of the truck. Ive never had any issues with this before. I'll recheck timing though.

I would be checking fuel pressure. I think some auto parts stores like autozone loan tools out, you may be able to borrow a gauge. If you find it is a pressure problem take time to check the pickup for cracks while replacing pump, I've seen them crack a few times.

Ok I got some new news for everyone to absorb. I saw my battery terminals were coroded so I took everything apart and cleaned them up. When I started the truck it was like a brand new 22re. Ran like a top, so I took it out for a ride. 5 mile ride went great. Parked the truck. Then I had more time so I wanted to test it. Went for a 10 mile ride. The truck starting acting up again twards the end of the ride. Not as bad but its getting a little buck/ cough I would estimate around 2-3k rpms and then it has power again. I hope I can track this down.

Not that I can tell. When I started it up today I had my wife give it gas and I felt the pressure comming out the exhaust and it felt strong when reving? Next time I run the truck after I get back from camp this weekend I'll run it around and check it. It would get cherry hot right?

You are correct, it drove like a normal truck for approximately 10 -12 miles before it started acting up again. I have not check the battery or charging system. I'll take it to advance auto parts and have them check that out for me. I can do the normal testing with a meter but I might as well have them do a load test.

When you pulled the battery cables off to clean them it also reset the ECU. After a few miles of driving wouldn't the ECU readjust everything?
Also you might want to upgrade your under-hood ground wires. A thicker gauge and solid grounds will help everything flow a little better.

Well since seafoaming and cleaning up the battery terminals and cleaning up some grounds the truck is running great. I hope it stays that way for a while!
