I recently acquired a 1991 Toyota short bed pick up with 44,500 miles. 22 RE engine. Truck had been sitting for 3 years. So far, I'm running Techron in gas tank (new tank, sending unit, fuel filter), new rotor, cap, wires, spark plugs. Idles rough and sputters at exhaust.
Took it on a 15 mile drive on the Interstate to run Techron through fuel system. Starting pinging more as I went on but not constantly. Looked down and saw oil warning light on. Pulled over and checked the oil which was at normal level. Engine temp gauge was always in the normal range. Restarted it, oil light was off, drove it home on city streets and warning light did not come on all the way home. At cold start up, engine is noisy as if there is lack of lubrication, and lasts about 5-10 seconds. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
