Hi all. I have a 2002 FZJ105R with a 1FZ-Fe 4.5lt petrol engine. I'm trying to identify which engine it is. The car is at the mechanics, and has a dead injector, otherwise I'd crawl under it and read the serial to check myself. However, the injectors in it appear to be from an 80 series - they...

EDITED: Looks like a knock sensor 12 error. Finally worked out the cel codes, as my diagnostic port was missing the TE1 pin. However, as someone suggested, I tried jumping E1 to TC, and then the cruise control started flashing 1-2 .i.e. 12, ie. knock sensor error. Hopefully just a damaged...

Not related to tank pressure, but my two bob on the fuel smell I posted on here earlier. With mine I was leaking a LOT of fuel from fuel pressure pulsation damper, actually making a puddle under the vehicle when I finally found it. Its located at the back of the fuel rail on the FZJ105, UZJ100...

I've been noticing the smell of petrol intermittently in my FZJ105. The other night, after a highway drive and then I was sitting still for about 10 minutes stationary with the engine running, when I again smelt it very strongly. I hopped out and had a look under the car and saw a puddle. I...

Hi all. Advice on aftermarket fuel pumps? OEM Toyota ones are about $400 AUD ($270 USD) each! I'm replacing both my tanks due to them being rusty ( the previous owner ran it only on LPG for like, forever, I'm guessing), so I thought I'd replace both fuel pumps at the same time. Some of the cheap...

Well, nearly a year later, an update, FWIW. I've spent the last year driving the car, changing the fuel filter every 3 months or so and just driving it slow, with less acceleration. I haven't yet replaced the tanks, but am in the process of ordering parts, as I am going to replace both the fuel...

Use a Phillips head screwsdriver to undo the positive and negative leads to the ABS brake booster motor, under the round dust jacket, then connect 12v directly from the battery to see if you can hear the motor turn on. If that works, check fuses and ABS relay. If it doesn't turn on, the motor...

Hi all. I noticed a cup or so of coolant last night on the ground, after putting some petrol in at the servo. It seems to be coming from the passenger side (its a RH drive vehicle), near or just in front of the firewall. I can see some wet marks on the RH frame just behind the front wheel. I...

I had my UZJ100 hit by a Patrol that crossed over the line. The chassis was warped, so they wrote it off. I didn't argue, as we had an agreed value, which I was happy to take. Thought of buying it as a paddock bomb, but I don't have a paddock... The drivers door was touching the rear door, hence...

Sorry @99fzj105, I didn't actually do the change over myself. My brother in law did it for me. I didn't watch him, but he said it was fairly straight forward, the main issue was the limited space due to the gas mixer being above/near it. There is a video on Youtube that is meant to show it, but...

Just another (late) update, for what its worth. I replaced the spark plugs with ones suitable for LPG and petrol, as I would like to get the LPG going one day. I also replaced a few hoses. Still haven't replaced the leads or coils yet. Then I replaced the fuel filter... and wow, so much rust...

I'd be tempted to apply something you can remove easily, to try to seal it up. At a guess, something like MOLYKOTE 55 O-Ring Grease or similar. It is meant to slightly swell existing o-rings and other rubber seals. It doesn't seem to really dry or set. So could be worth coating the existing...

Well I'll be.... I was about to order a replacement MAP sensor, but thought I'd change the vacuum line to it first. The one that goes to that small greenish gas filter, that I had recently replaced. I also replaced the vacuum line that runs between the fuel regulator and the throttle body near...

@99fzj105, thanks for the photos... I was looking at the other end, near the air box, where my old UZJ100 had the MAF sensor. Mine only seems to have an ambient air temperature sensor there. I'll have to check as per your photos to see if I can see it...although if its a MAP sensor and not a MAF...

Thanks @99fzj105. I hope its not as you say... but yes, I have heard issues with dual fuel systems, in these, and other motors. The 1FZ-Fe seems to run pretty hot anyway. I'm hoping its not terminal... so I'll keep at it in the meantime. The fact that it seems to run poorly especially when its...
