Pulled off the highway for gas and spotted a hand wash Carwash. 6 guys jumped on it, 13 bucks and 7 minutes later it looked like this .. wish they were local
Had a lifted 80 series from 2001 to 2015…just purchased this 87k mile 2007 LX in amazing condition and added the tires and wheels as well as full maintenance. Everything works well with exception of the speaker used for Bluetooth calls. Think I...
In the past few weeks I’ve been chasing down high NOx, which has caused me to fail emission control three times now. As documented in another thread, I’ve replaced spark plugs that appeared to be original from 1998, cleaned the MAF and throttle...
Okay, small little project on the passenger headlight assembly mounting tab.
I've seen this fix somewhere here on Mud but I can't remember where so I can't give full credit to whomever I got the idea from.

On October 2, 2018 I sold my last, most recent Cruiser...an 87 FJ60 named Chunk to Patrick of Bowfin Cruisers. At that time and for a long time after, the market for Land Cruisers went through the roof. I'm a Freelance Graphic Designer in a...
Urban Auto Car on East Evans has resolved emissions problems on my 80 series a few times. Can't directly speak to their expertise on 100 Series. I think they charge around $200 minimum diagnostic fee.
Back to this thread and still chasing high NOx. I pulled the OEM cats and they were clearly perished. They rattled like a set of large maracas full of gravel. I replaced them with new Magnaflow CARB-compliant cats and did notice a little...
LC100 Workshop Manual - https://lc100e.github.io, then Engine Repair Manual, then Emission Control System to see everything connected.
It starts like this, then goes through each of the systems
Following up with what feels like a dumb question, but Google searches and review of the FSM and I don't see the EGR referenced for the 100 series. Surely there IS one, and I suspect I can find it lurking near the throttle body. But if anyone has...
The EGR is designed to lower NOX readings. A bad vacuum modulator or EGR valve can cause high NOX. Urban Car Care on East Evans has gotten my NOX readings down low enough on our 80 series to pass the test. I've found no direct connection...
Just to add, I also did similar to CanadianRockyCruiser, and didn't bother with ordering/soldering in new switches. Just popped off the blue button cover and a quick shot of QD Electronic Cleaner on each side, and put it back together. They...
I pulled off all of the blue covers, cleaned the contacts with alcohol, and then re-installed the blue covers. Re-install is a bit of work, but can be done with fingers and a small tool (a pin head or a dental pick). Now, all buttons work...
Solder wick is the best cheap way of removing excess solder from a joint. Place the wick on the cold joint, then the iron on top of the wick. The solder will be sucked up the wick. Cut off the used portion of the wick and repeat if necessary...
Thanks for these replies. This weekend I'll clean the MAF and replace the air filter; hadn't checked those yet. I'm also thinking EGR based on the wave values from the emissions report. I've included that image below.
From a video I watched...
Just a guess from me but I would run regular octane fuel and stop the additives. Clean maf.
Let it run a full tank without all the additives . Take a with a few hour long highway drives. OD off to keep rpms up to burn off anything in cats. A few...
Low HC shows that you are getting good combustion so the engine is likely running fine.
I would recommend cleaning the MAF if you haven't yet.
Most likely the catalytic converters are bad. Low miles means the truck has been sitting for most of...
While this now ranks in my top ten YouTube videos I've ever seen - ranked both in quality of subtitles and general entertainment value - I cannot envision a circumstance in which I would actually do this.
Make sure you put on a nice shirt, dress pants and remove your gloves when you clean your cat with every possible chemical you find around.
Besides the fact that a noisy fan isn't related to a catalytic issue (unless it overheats the engine...

My new-to-me JDM hundo isn't clearing emissions. When I first tested at emissions, I got the following values:
HC GPM 0.0903 (state limit is 0.8000)
CO GPM 5.7097 (state limit is 15.0000)
CO2 GPM 646.6110
NOx GPM 3.443 (state limit is 1.5000)...
