So my '86 Toyota truck (manual, 22r) will die when i'm not in gear so whenever I coast down the road and don't have it in gear or at stop lights/signs. I recently replaced the spark plugs, rotor and cap, and the master clutch cylinder... The odd thing though, is that it only dies once it is up to running tempurature... When the engine is cold it runs without dieing... I imgaine I could probably turn the idle up to fix this problem, but that seems more like i'm just ignoring the problem than repairing it... does anyone have any ideas?

If it's in gear and my foot on the clutch it still dies...

You have a fuel richness problem. Not sufficiently rich to stay running. Could be a dirty fuel filter, or low pressure from the pump.If it runs normal at highway speeds, normal power, then check for obstruction in the airways.
A rebuilt carb would probably fix it.
Lastly, your engine is worn and has lost compression.....I think you know the rest from here.

Two possible causes, Either your fast idle cam is broken and allowing the the throttle plate to close completely. or you have fried a coil. Find an older repair shop that still knows what a carburetor is and have it adjusted for fast idle and standard idle speed. I had a celica that did this and it was the fast idle cam on the carb loosened up and allowed the idle screw to go too far closing the carb completely

It could be vacuum related but it could also be the IAC...Idle air control valve.
It could also be the timing tensioner pulley. They've been known to go bad and cause similar problems like the one you stated.
Will it Idle when in gear and your foot is on the clutch?

My husband said it sounds like you have a vacuum leak. You need to take it in and have all belts and hoses checked - it could just be a pinhole in a vacuum line that is causing the problem.

1st answer was good, check for a vacuum leak, if it dies i dont believe its a small one either, when its cold the choke is closed and the vacuum leak doesnt effect it but after its warm and the choke has opened then it effects it. listen for a hiss when its cold and look for a split hose or a disconnected hose
