As luck would have it, I found a an f22a6 cam on ebay for 60 bucks out of a running (well…before the transmission quit) EX…comes with the cam pulley too! I never thought I’d get that lucky! 🙂
You really need to figure out if the cam pulley and crank pulley are aligned properly. Double and triple check this to make sure that they’re OK. If they’re not, then you’re going to have to take it apart and make sure that the timing is dead on before you adjust your valves. Make sure it’s right and your head will thank you.
AND FURTHERMORE!
What’s up with not being able to get full-sized pickup trucks in manual? The only one that I’m pretty sure is still available is a a 3500 Ram with a 6spd Allison mated to a Cummins. I certainly like the idea of THAT truck, just not its pricetag.
As far as the compact pickups, I think the Colorado and the Tacoma are the only ones that you can still get in stick. What’s the world comin’ to? 🙁

One quick thought that I had was that it may be a gummed up Idle air control valve. I encountered one of those on my explorer a number of years ago under much of the same conditions as you described. I just cleaned up the carbon deposits and it was fine but it certainly wouldn’t hurt to check the voltage coming out of the ecu either. I hope you find the problem! 🙂

For me if it doesn’t have a clutch, it’s not worth owning. I drive a cargo van for a living and I end up wishing that it had a 3 on the tree most of the time…even heavy traffic…I don’t mind!
I had the chance to drive a ‘semi-auto’ chevy express van about 2 or 3 months ago and the thing just pissed me off something awful. It had that litte +/- switch on the gear selector stalk to move up or down through the gears. Long story short, it was so unresponsive that I just gave up on it completely and went back to ‘auto’ mode. There’s something wrong when you can work kickdown on the gas pedal more effectively than using a switch that’s supposed to make it quicker/more convenient. I’m pretty sure it’s an illusion of control VS actual control type of situation.

I’m wondering if the PS issue isn’t from a clog somewhere in the system. Really old rubber will tend to rot itself directly into whatever system it happens to be in. I’m wondering if the overflow pressure is just ending up near the reservoir because that’s the path of least resistance. Have a look at the condition of the feed and return when you change that pump! I wish you the best!
