Took a long break from wrenching on the 3fe with the rough winter we got here in NJ/NY. I'm just about ready to get back into it now that temps are warming up. Continued to research this and this is where I'm at... The next likely culprit is the EFI coolant temp sensor. This video was extremely...

Just tried driving it with the O2 sensors unplugged and the problem still persists unfortunately...

Thanks for the quick reply. Followed the FSM for testing the AFM's resistance and it was all in spec. Though the voltage change was in reverse, it did so smoothly with no dead spots or jumps...

I've been chasing what I assume is an air/fuel mixture issue with my 91 3FE FJ80. The car starts and idles perfect at 650rpm and when I first press on the gas, all seems fine. Once the rpms hit around 1500 rpms or second gear the car loses all power and can hardly get up a hill. If I ease up on...

How much for the AFM + plus shipping to NJ? Thanks!

I hate to be reviving this old thread but it looks like I am. Ran into the same exact issue as OP and I’m terrified to hear you went and got a whole other engine. Took everything out including all bolts and stays and the intake plenum didn’t budge a bit just like OP said. Looked closer and it...

One of my down pipes completely cracked after hitting a huge pothole on a trail. Figured my exhaust system has received enough patches so time for a whole new system. Has anyone tried out this BRE exhaust “direct-fit” kit from magnaflow with any luck?Other option would go full custom and...

PM'd!

Will PM you!

How's driver-side floor pan?

How is the driver side floor pan?

The car's been in the Northeast for most of its life so it isn't pristine or perfect by any means. But I'd consider it pretty good by Northeast standards. Definitely worth saving.

Dug into the oil pan a bit further. I wanted to see how deep the rust really was and it's not looking promising. I slapped some 2 part epoxy over the tiny holes just to try it out but I don't think I'd be able to sleep knowing the pan looks like this. Dropping the oil pan was a pain on its own...

Pulled the oil pan on my 91 FJ80 with the 3FE to finally tackle the oil leaks! Valve cover and pushrod cover have been done so this was next on the list. Pulled the pan off and noticed the paint on the left side was pretty bubbly. Got to working on the wire wheel and found a few small spots...

Yes, confirming I installed a new cork gasket.
