I got the swap done a couple months ago. I did a leakdown and compression test on the motor and everything came out perfect so I decided not to open it up. Basically all the rubber under the hood was replaced, as were the fuel filter, spark plugs and wires, and battery wires. I already wish I...
The internal viscosity of a 5w-20 is much lower than that of a 10w-30 at operating temperatures. For the purpose of an engine this means that it creates a much thinner film on moving parts. The thinner film means lower friction between the moving parts and allows for better gas mileage. On the...
I did new plugs/wires, New engine and transmission mounts, All new heater hoses, vac lines, fuel lines, power steering hose, and trans cooler lines. Basically I replaced all the rubber under the hood. I wish I had rebuilt the power steering box and pump, and replaced the high pressure steering...
You're gonna have to get into it a little deeper than that. Compression? Maybe a valve adjustment would help. Is your throttle linkage adjusted? The FJ80's aren't fast, but they can go faster than 75 stock. Even with the tires you should be able to get going, maybe just a little slower...
You sir are a gentleman and a saint. After cleaning and drying the distributer, changing the spark plugs, testing the VAF, testing the coolant temperature sensor, testing the fuel relay and resistor... I pulled the TPS, put my heat gun on it for a couple minutes and the problem is gone.
Thanks!
So I let the truck sit overnight and the problem didn't resolve itself. It basically acts like it redlines at just over 2k rpm. If I let it go that high it cuts out completely and the rpm drops to 1500 or so. It is also idles low. Any Ideas? I have a spare engine with all the electronics on...
94 with lockers, torn up interior, some oil leaks, in need of front end rebuild... probably worth 3k. Unless you want a land cruiser get something else.
So I was cleaning my engine a bit. (famous last words, I know.) Rinsed everything off, At first it had a really rough Idle. I pulled the distributor cap, dried it out, cleaned the contacts and now it idles smooth. But it's acting like it has a 2000 rpm redline. Also while it is at idle the...
I thought post 93 they were all full floater axles with discs. Does yours have ABS?
Both methods have been done. Probably harder to find, but cheaper to get used OEM lockers. Aftermarket is more expensive.
