PRICED TO MOVE THIS WEEK! $19,950.00 OBO, PRICE NEGOTIABLE, CASH OFFERS ONLY. Selling because my new job came with a vehicle. Additional Pictures...
It turns out that the loss of power was not due to regearing, actually all repsonses I received and the research I did reflected that stock gearing was still best for the tire size of 33". However the loss of power was due to a hairline crack in both the cam shaft and crank shaft. I had both...
Sold!!!! Fellow mudders! I am finally selling my very well kept 1991 FJ80 Cruiser with 214K miles for $6,250.00. I have invested more than 15K into this rig in engine work, rebuilt transmission, brakes, knuckles, front-end, etc. It has a 3" OME lift and steering stabilizer, Custom interior...
Everything is holding up really well. The only thing I would do different would be to use a spray on sound deadener rather than the strips I used under the liner. Other than that the durability has been excellent. Same qualities as when I first installed it!
The purpose of the project was to create a quieter environment that was also durable and easy to clean. The carpet would have been more difficult to clean mud out of, and I know how we all h8mud!
No idea how it happened. It appears to be a stress fracture near the cam shaft and also at the crank shaft pulley but dang thats a mess-load of strees that I dont remember putting on the beast!
He is a master tech for Toyota and is very familiar with LC's. There is no knock sensor on this vehicle. Intake has been checked prior to purchasing parts.
C'mon man...he probably was just so excited about the newly acquired FJ80 that he posted it here by mistake. Of course he doesnt have a 96 with a 3FE. That would be silly. That would be like an M1/M1A1 tank with an engine from an M60A3. Just silly. :D
No stupid questions here, although some might ridicule you for it, I wont, its how others learn, including myself.
Per the owner of the shop, he is using the proper FSM process to check the timing.
As for the knock sensor...well the 3FE doesnt have one. I asked about that too.
Keep it...
Update...still no go
So the latest is that the shop replaced the ECU and the rig runs slightly better but still retards the timing. So far they have replaced the TPS (which was adjusted per factory specs prior to installation) and the ECU, but neither fixed the retarded timing issue.
The...
The owner of the shop with 25 years Toyota/Lexus experience installed the TPS. He is also a master technician. I hope that he would know how to install it properly. If not I'm at the wrong shop. Ha!
The next item on the list is an ECU which I sourced from landcruiserman. I will update more...
Jon that is correct. Each time the timing is set to spec and rpms are raised above 1500 the timing is then incorrect.
On a new note, I sourced a new TPS which helped some but it still runs like junk. He mentioned when he sets the distributor to 1 it wont run at all. He can get it to run if it...
Steve:
All the vac lines have been replaced and hard lines blown through. The EGR and additional smog gear all checks/tests good. Not sure about the knock sensor either. I will put it on the list.
