Hi everyone,
It’s been 10 years since my last landcruiser (1985 fj60) and I’ve been looking for another as a project. I started this past Saturday with a 195k mile, 1990 62 and had a couple questions.
Thanks for the help & advice.

It’s been 10 years since my last landcruiser (1985 fj60) and I’ve been looking for another as a project. I started this past Saturday with a 195k mile, 1990 62 and had a couple questions.
- At around 2200 rpm, there is a vibration in the steering wheel & driveline that slowy fades away at around 3000 rpm. The seller thinks it is a bad injector, but I don’t agree since it’s felt in every gear and there doesn’t seem to be miss or hesitation- acceleration seems fine, it’s just accompanied by the shuddering/vibration.
- Tie rod ends have recently been replaced, but the steering still feels pretty vague and loose- I think I’ve found a couple posts related to fixing that.
- The seller also informed me that the O2 sensor is not connected or missing- how many oxygen sensors does the 62 have and how do they affect engine operation?
- Idle seemed pretty low- around 575 in park and 525 in gear- does that sound right?
Thanks for the help & advice.
