You're going to pay through the nose for a new VAF. It's worth the effort to at least try to salvage what you have first. This may seem like a ridiculous suggestion, but I learned to solder when I was a kid by building kits like these from Velleman. You can practice and build confidence without...

It certainly sounds based on those symptoms like you have a short to ground inside your VAF that's killing your EFI. If you have a multimeter, check the pins on the vaf for a short to ground. You probably have to clean up your solder joints. I would get some solder wick braid and remove all that...

Ended up finally solving this issue. I'm surprised in the history of 'mud, this has never come up before. Hopefully I can share some knowledge here and save those who come after me some trouble. There are indeed two different kinds of flare nuts on the 80 series (or perhaps there are three - I...

@Malleus great tip about Dave. Thanks. He just helped me out with a bunch of parts. I look forward to continuing to work with him.

I'm just about at my wit's end here with this and was hoping to get a sanity check from the mud brain trust - the LSPV brake line connections are M10 inverted flare, correct? There is nothing magical about the flare nuts or the flare technique for these particular connections, right? I'm...

Here's a few more sites you may or may not be helpful: This one gives prices (in euros, not sure how accurate, but at least it will give you an order of magnitude): ToyoDIY.com - https://www.toyodiy.com/parts/g_E_199411_TOYOTA_LAND+CRUISER_FZJ80L-GNPEKA.html This has newer parts diagrams, but...

Isn't working for me either, and I'm right there with you. I've been using that site for several years as I've been gradually replacing everything in my 80, and lately I've been using it pretty much weekly. It's a huge loss. PartSouq's catalog comes close as a replacement, but I really miss the...

@sbman Did you replace your booster? I’ve been chasing the intermittent soft pedal issue for years and the booster is the only thing I haven’t replaced - done calipers, master cyl, lspv, and abs pump with no improvement… booster is next on my list when I have the cash. If that doesn’t do it, I...

If your check engine isn’t lighting up when you first turn the key, your bulb is burnt out. Pull the cluster and replace the bulb, then see if you have a code. If you’ve got a code, that will give you a good idea of where to start. You may also consider checking fuel pressure and checking your egr.

When in doubt, break out the multimeter. You need to figure out if power is getting to the motor when you’re pressing the switch. Take a look at the EWD and understand what color wires should be doing what when you press the switches. If the motor is getting power, but your window isn’t moving...

Thanks for the reply. I definitely want to go with OEM. I was more just trying to figure out the difference between these part numbers. At the end of the day, I am going to trust an Onur recommendation over some random parts counter guy, I just wanted to make sure what was good for ‘95 was also...

I've seen numerous references in various posts to 48531-69417 for the OEM rear 80 shocks - they seem to be the beno rear shock of choice - but one of the parts guys at the dealership formerly known as McGeorge is telling me I should be ordering 48531-69535 instead. I have a '94 and the other...

Finally fixed this madness… I shook various sections of my wiring harness until I heard the engine speed change while shaking it around the #1 injector. The connector was making enough contact for it to ohm out correctly on a meter, but not enough contact to actually run the injector. I cut the...

Apparently I didn't search hard enough! Thanks.

I've spent some time searching previous posts, and I am coming up dry. Does anyone know the Toyota P./N for the O2 sensor studs and nuts for a 93/94 exhaust? Thanks!
