I'm posting here again because I've changed vehicles, into another 80 but upgraded. Sadly my FZJ80 died earlier this year :( 1. Year and model: 1996 HZJ80 Turbo 2. Name of owner: Brayden 3. Name of rig: No idea... Usually just gets "The Cruiser" 4. Mileage: 341,000kms (211,900 miles) 5. Mods...

Well I ended up being cheap and nasty and running another wire. Been driving for 3 days now and no cut outs. So I'm going to say even though I never found the initial issue, it is fixed. Thanks for all your help and the diagrams. I have kept some of them for future reference. - B

To save screwing around could I just run another wire from the fusible link at the battery to the ignition switch? Or is there more to it than that... - B

Well I checked all 3 of the plugs near the fuse box in the engine bay none of them have a white/red wire on either side. I'm thinking maybe it's time for that auto elec. - B

Thank you Reelitchy - that is great. I will check EA2 connector this afternoon. Hopefully there is some sign of an issue there otherwise I'm going to be clueless.. Thanks everyone - B

Today the truck did something new. When it went to cut out and die like it has been, all the warning lights flashed up on the dash and it kept running. It sort of stumbled for a minute and went to turn off but picked itself back up. I turned it off and went to start it again though and I had...

So what exactly am I looking for...? is this in the engine bay I'm looking? Am I just looking for this red/white wire? - B

So when the truck cuts out I have no power to the ignition switch from the red/white wire. I have power to the link in the fuse box in the engine bay so I'm guessing this tells us the issue is between that link and the ignition switch. I'm a little confused about this EA2 connector. Any chance...

Thank you gents. I will have another look and do some more testing tomorrow. And thank you twice Jonheld, that first diagram is exactly what I've been looking for. I can at this stage positively say I have no power to green/black at ignition fuse, no power to green/black at the coil. I will...

I also have power at the ignition switch and leaving the ignition switch. I have power at the fuse panel under bonnet. Everything else works, lights, radio, etc. and I obviously have power to the starter because it will crank. But no power at coil, no spark. No power to the 7.5A ignition fuse. I...

Seeing as I have no power to distributor, coil or ignition is it safe to say that the issue could be with the AM1 link? Even though I replaced the link itself I didn't replace the fuse looking part in the fuse box under the bonnet...

What do you suggest as a relevant diagnostic step? All I've found so far is that after the engine dies I have no power to the ignition fuse in the fuse box and no power to the coil, meaning no spark. I have power everywhere else. I've replaced the fusible links and the EFI relay and I've tried...

Well I've replaced the fusible links today and still having the same trouble.. I guess I'll try another ignition switch and see if that helps any. - B

So after some testing today I've found that I have power after the fusible links when the car dies, but I have no spark. No power to the coil after it dies. Where does the coil get its power from? - B

I've just realized I'm an idiot and I was looking in the wrong spot. Will check it out again tomorrow. - B
