Thanks. I didn't realize the difference on the stick from high to low was only 1 quart. I believe the rattle is either the timing chain slapping or predetonation from the timing being advanced .

Did you ever fix this by replacing the accumulator ? I had the exact same issue. Replaced the motor but it kept cycling so I replaced the accumulator too but it still keeps cycling every 3-5 seconds ?

So my ABS electric pump fried on me. My wife got the hard pedal , alarm and dash lights. I removed the electric pump and it was very clearly shot as I took it apart and examined it. Obviously from having to run continuously as I would determine later. So I replaced with one from Rockauto and it...

I will definitely test there as soon as the intermittent problem rears it's ugly head.

Well it is not the circuit opening relay. Cruiser was running fine , it gave me the CEL when ignition was in the run position so I tried to duplicate the problem by removing the circuit opening relay. Once removed it would not start but it was still giving me the CEL. So it's not that relay. I...

I think I've possibly found the culprit but ran out of daylight and my back is toast. I think it is the circuit open relay in the drivers bottom kickpanel. I bet that's the relay you are referring to. I'll post my findings when I confirm. Thanks for your input !

It is two female connectors on the back side going into one big wide connector . Security / alarm was removed by PO. I know your train of thought on this is the " immobolizer " . I checked into all that as well. Not the problem. After further using my very technically advanced " tap /kick "...

BigBlueLC , I'm pretty sure I actually read your thread on that last week. I had a backup set of fusible links that I changed out . The ones on it were testing out fine with a meter but I changed them out anyway . Didn't fix the issue . After further using my very technically advanced " tap "...

Hello all, So I have a triple locked 1995 fzj 80 Land Cruiser "Sandy " U.S. spec with 260 k miles that I'm having an intermittent no start on. Let me be clear ......it turns over but will not start up. This happened after I went into the dash and installed a new radio , power strip , offroading...

The oil pressure is higher than usual . My gauge is crap like most oem 80 oil pressure gauges. Usually It tends to be on the low side until the rpm's are up but during this debacle pressure is up .

8 quarts . I checked the oil while running just for a quick reference because of the noise I was hearing . I realize it probably might not be full while running but we are talking BONE DRY ! Clean the stick and check , clean the stick and check . As I tried to make clear I am not mechanically...

At 260 k miles I changed the oil in my 95 fzj 80. To quieten the start up rattle you hear on high milage engines I decided to go to Rotella T5 10W 40 instead of the Rotella T5 5W 40 I had been using because I live in Georgia and it's quite hot here with milder winters. I used the OEM skinny oil...

Yes I finally found the part however I didn't see the nut and bolt to order. Fingers crossed on being able to reuse the old one. Thanks for the response !

Thanks
