Probably because: Key On, Engine Off.

I've got an '89 FJ62 with 415,xxx on the odo.... My daily driver.

I have a 3' piece of 1" pipe on the floor in the back seat. It is named "the Auxiliary Starter", much to the amusement of the teenaged girls in carpool. My starter has been occasionally "difficult" over the past several years. It used to act up every six months or so... then every few...

I yanked the whole A/C system out. Lots of room to work back there now.

I'm looking for the tail light wiring harness... the one that runs underneath, across the back of the vehicle, and has a big blue connector on the driver's side. Also, looking for gas pedal cable (pedal to throttle body). 63144 commercial ship address

In a pinch, couldn't one take a barbed union and just hook the two vac lines together, thereby bypassing the switch completely? It would mean full-time 4WD, but if it is Snowpocalypse, then that oughta be just fine.

Missed it by >that< much! ;) Oh well, I made the last one, I can make another!

@MarkN : My cable snapped today. Do you still have a spare accelerator cable you'd be willing to part with?

sooo tempting just to have it on hand...

I never thought to ask about the H42 shift lever... Still have one?

Just out of curiosity, how did you get the spare tire down if the carrier was frozen?

Make sure your drive shaft bolts are tight.

Thanks, guys! When it warms up, we'll see if this puppy will spark. It's been sitting for about 6 years, but the battery charged up fine and has held the charge (shocked me!), and it cranks fine.

If you have that coil part #, I'd sure appreciate it. The PO of my '78 put a points distributor in it, and the coil is too old & nasty to pull any numbers off it.
