Did you disconnect the ribbed intake tube mentioned above, or check the air cleaner and flex it? Did you disconnect the AFM and not reconnect.

Thanks for the tip on the LS400 sunvisors. I made a quick trip to the local U Pull and snagged a pair. I'm going to paint them with SEM vinyl dye.

Truly - I am. As you can see from my signature, I'm on a few other forums. We're seeing AI generated posts on several of them, and they're oft generic topics that would fit any make/model vehicle with little further input from the OP because that gets more challenging. Apparently the Google...

I personally don't see the need for a vehicle mount though I understand it. If I'm in the vehicle, it's mounted on me. My logic is when I travel by vehicle, the most dangerous thing I do is pull off and get out of my vehicle and go into a fuel station/convenience store. And when I pull up, I...

And just like that, we're at 10 helping posts and not a word from the OP as a courtesy to the forum to provide further information. This will end well.

Designdca, If the vehicle's oil is unknown, change the oil and put in Shell Rotella T6 Syn 5-40 with a new filter. Wal Mart has an excellent price right now.

I suspect we're going to find after a page of "helping" you that this is a nonstock radio you have put in. So why don't you share what you've done? Wiring harness - everything.

To my knowledge, the 80 Series shared nearly nothing in its rear frame with any other Toyota chassis. There are plenty of shops who will make you a custom hitch, but they would not have a certified capacity to pass an inspection if that's what you are worried about. They'd be plenty strong for...

Good luck. The FZJ80 for the North American market was deliberately downrated to 5000lbs tow capacity, even though its mechanical twin in Germany was rated at 7700lbs. This was done as Toyota were terrified of having one of their products being in front of out of control US juries, so that in...

Oh for crying out loud. Seriously, you "forgot" to mention it's been modified to run on LPG gas?! Now I am starting to think you're just a troll having your version of fun since you're new. A bit like saying "My exhaust is loud but I've checked all the connections and everything's tight. What...

Just re-confirming this is NOT a diesel, correct? I'd again disconnect the throttle and cruise and tranny kickdown cables, then start it and see if it idles as normal. I'd have someone else do it (and be ready to shut it down) because I'd want MY hands on all 3 of those cable ends to feel if...

From the original factory sales brochure when I bought my 1993 back in 1992: Minimum Running Ground Clearance - 10.8 inches.

Tyjova, it's been a week - what happened?

Technically, the hotter it gets, the more closely it matches the engine speed. If you have any doubts, cooling issues, or belief it's not up to snuff, just get a blue model - available here I believe from Landtank. Both my 80s have these and we tow heavy. You'll lose a fraction of MPG I...

A fan takes incredible energy, so as Jon says it is always pushing SOME air. But it's designed to save power/fuel when not needed and one way to look at it versus the old days when the fans were belt driven and always at max flow/fuel sucking drag, is that these are heat activated to better...
