Hey, guys. I'm experiencing a lag in the engagement of my transmission after the initial startup of the vehicle. I'll try to explain. The vehicle will go into first gear no problem on startup but after I've driven for a minute or so then stop, it will rev up as it searches for first again then...

I'd forgotten all about it! I like this better, though and will give it a try. Thanks!

Yeah, I can already feel my pride around the whole thing fading. By tomorrow I'll have mostly lost my concern around it and moved on to the next problem. 89bigblue, the clamps aren't a bad idea, though.

For those of you who put the VC120 in your 60, how did you accomodate the wider diameter to fit the mounts? I bought longer bolts for the brackets, and they work great. But the extra width doesn't allow the bracket holes to line up with the mount holes in the engine bay, at least as far as I can...

Thanks, mattressking. I did try this about a week ago, but haven't fired in pressurized air--no compressor. I swapped the tubes in hopes of relieving my issue (having engine performance problems--after running for a while will start to cough as though running out of fuel. Getting codes 25 and...

I guess the FJ62 canister is different from the FJ60. Is there a cut-away schematic to confirm this change? In the schematic I posted you can see that the purge port for the FJ60 canister doesn't have a check valve just on that port; the two check valves are connected to the pipe from the...

Yeah, I'm starting to see that based on all the posts I've read. I think I just wasted my money on a replacement from cruiserparts. It seems to function the same way. And is in worse condition as my original.

Hmm. Thanks, 2mbb Mys fsm states something different as you can see in pic. My ports seem to do the opposite of what they should be doing. Perhaps I'm not generating enough pressure to open the valves in tank port, but it shouldn't be moving so freely through purge. At least that's my...

Hi, everyone. I have a question regarding the testing of the charcoal canister. I feel like an idiot or that I'm missing something as the test is very straight forward. According to the fsm, air blown through the tank port should flow freely, air blown through the purge port should NOT. Mine...

Ah, got it. Thanks.

Thanks! What do you mean by "treatment," though?

Pump's maybe ten years old. I was hoping not to drop the tank right off the bat. But may not have a choice.

Loosening the cap usually helps the starting issue only. In other words, if it's having problems starting and I loosen the cap, it's almost guaranteed to start--at least so far. A couple of weeks ago it bogged down suddenly on the freeway. I pulled over and tried venting the cap. Not much vapor...

Hi, everyone. This is an issue I've struggled with for some time and have never gotten to the bottom of. It can be intermittent and hard to trace. But recently I discovered a few things. The back story is: my rig, an 88 fj62, has been intermittently difficult to start, and/or, after starting...

Thanks. Wasn't on my Christmas wish list, but good to know.
