Some slight off roading yesterday. Thinking about an 1KZ-T. 👀

1. 1992 LJ73 2.8 3L with 2L-T turbo system 2. Dave3LT 3. Bosnia and Hercegovina 4. Germany, Europe 5. 203k 6. Turbo swap, front bull bar, fog lamps (if that counts) 6. Semi daily, light offroading 7. Photos

I would suggest checking all the wires and relays first - especially earth. One of the offical 2LT manual troubleshooting steps was to remove the coolant temperature sensor and check if it is faulty. When removed, the glowplugs light should always stay on since it is not getting any readings...

Yes! But I had the issue when the engine was cold - but now it is fixed. :)

Massive update: Alternator rebuild and still no glow plugs. After looking around and testing, I saw that one cable was not hooked to ground and now after reconnecting the wire - glowplugs and their lights are on and functioning as it should. :) What an easy fix.

Just a drive around town and a quick sprint to the river to cool myself down in these summer heats. No need for A/C when you can slide the rear windows open. 😁 3L-T swap.

UPDATE: After cleaning the alternotor connections I noticed that the charge is low. So, next step would be rebuilding the alternator.

Yes, these three pins on the cable are all dirty. I will clean them and let you know. It is probably that, I hope. It is interesting how everything is managed by the alternator. I've never saw that before. Thank you very much. You were a great help. EDIT: It is most definately the connections...

Yes. I took a look at the connections on the alternator: on the main plug in, the big one, there is some gray resedue in the connections. It probably needs some cleaning too. By the oval/round, you mean the one thats on the top? Haven't checked that one out. Will do. I also noticed I do not...

Have not done anything, but yesterday I noticed the battery light comes on for a second and turns off. The alternator seems to work fine though..

Hello everyone. This morning I started my Land Cruiser just fine. Went for a drive to the city. After that, I went to start the car again, but the glow plug lights and the filter light did not light up. Everything worked absolutely fine without any issues, untill now. Did anyone ecnounter...

Hi, sorry for the bump but I have to say that your Toyota looks great, love the tent, roof rack and the complete look of the vechicle! We are running the same engine setup aswell! Would you mind if I ask some questions about the setup and the engine?
