Thanks for the suggestion. I checked the fusible link and it was a little loose. After securing it, my dome light, stereo, and door locks are all working great. Appreciate you steering me towards the fusible link!

Apologies on resurrecting this old thread, but I'm having a similar issue on my '88 FJ62. In addition to the dome light not working, my power door locks are also not functioning, along with my aftermarket stereo, which was installed by a PO. The issue seems to be persistent now, but I believe...

Thanks, will give them a shout.

Thanks for the tips on this thread. I’ve got some OBD corrosion I’m cleaning up. But, when popping off the cover to the box, mine cracked and now won’t stay put. Any ideas on sourcing a replacement? I’ve searched MUD and online and can’t seem to find an OEM replacement for the OBD/diagnostics...

Thanks for that tip — yes, I need to get a light and will look for an old school one. Update on my issue: it was the COR. I sourced a similar relay at Auto Zone (Duralast 20098 60-0198), swapped it in and she fired right up and drove fine. I have a replacement relay on order from parts geek...

Thanks to both you guys, I appreciate the feedback and will continue to go through the truck. I’ll continue to share what I learn and take any feedback you guys have. Aside from helping me out, maybe this thread will eventually be useful to someone else (once I figure it out)!

Thanks. I’m not discounting your input, but apparently, the white goop has been on the intake hose for a few years (from a couple owners ago). I think I have an additional issue, but to your point, maybe I should attempt to reseal the intake hose.

Thanks. My hoses look pretty good and I can’t see any obvious cracks or disconnects. The PO did replace these in the last year. I just checked the resistances at the air flow meter connector. For the most part, I they are ok, but some are out of spec — for example, I got 1 ohm instead of 900...

Thanks! Yes, I meant keeping the key turned. I will run the air flow meter FSM checks today. How do I bypass the COR? I thought that’s what I was doing when I shorted out the +B and FP in the diagnostics box — when I have it shorted it will start and run. Can you point me to the location on...

Apologies that I’m replying to myself, but I just did some more trial and error testing and think I may be getting a bead on this. Tried a cold start this afternoon with no luck. I say ‘cold’ as the truck has been sitting all day (in the sun), but I live in FL so it’s 90 degrees here. The truck...

No, I haven’t, but I assumed (probably incorrectly) that it was something else given that it cold starts and runs ok initially and only acts up once it starts to warm up. Could timing and/or valve clearance issues manifest in that way also? Thanks for your post and any feedback.

Thanks, that’s my plan. Am I missing something in the FSM about checking the FPR? I see how to replace it, but don’t see any diagnostic steps to determine if it is bad. Edit: I also reviewed the maintenance history from the PO and noticed that the FPR was replaced (with a Standard Motor Products...

Update with some additional info after further diagnostics: I did the fuel pump check and could hear a faint sound indicating the pump was probably engaged (I think). I visually inspected the EFI fuse and did a continuity check on it, it's good. I checked the EFI main relay per the FSM -- when...

Hey guys, I've read this board for years, but haven't posted much in the past as I only recently (last month) became a proud FJ62 owner ('88 that I bought off MUD). This past week, I've noticed some issues when starting the truck, having to crank it a few times before the idle will hold...

Great looking 60! Do you use it as a daily driver? How are the manners to drive it everyday? Thanks!
