Turned out to be a bad number 2 fuel injector. Now on to a another issue. It's now stalling mid drive like it just ran out of fuel. Sometimes it picks back up like nothing ever happened. Sometimes it takes a couple tries to restart. Thinking it needs a new fuel pump. Runs really well otherwise...

Dont think that at all. I value all of yalls input. I'll put that on the list of things to check. I'll check this for sure.

Pulled the fuel line at the gas filter on top of the motor back when this all started. There was plenty of fuel flow.

New used dizzy. Same story. Ran good for a few miles and then crap again. Adjusted the timing by feel when I got back just to see what would happen. There's a noticable change in idle rpms but still a steady lope. I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Update. Changed the plug wires, dizzy cap and rotor. Did not change the plugs because they are only a few months old. Sprayed the inside of the dizzy with electric contact cleaner because there was oil inside. Ran much better for a few miles. Began to run rough again but not nearly as bad...

I used a 1/4 inch wood dowel. Removed the vents. Drilled out the spot where the peg broke off and JB welded the dowel in place once it set up, I used a dremel to shape and remove excess material. Also put some loop side velcro inside the vent registers go. Works great.

Replaced the coil already. I'll go ahead and order the coil wire with the spark plug wires. Yes. Very frustrating. It's like its teasing me.

Just got it back Friday evening. I'll work on it today after work.

NSS barrel?

Update: Got fed up and had a mechanic look at it. Really just wanted to have someone pinpoint the problem. Their opinion is that it's the result of 3 things. Spark plugs gapped wrong. Says that they are gapped to about .015 but I gapped them too about .031 when I installed them. I'll check...

Cleaned out what I could with throttle body cleaner without removing the throttle body. I put a new clamp on the hose and tightened the snot out of it. Took a moment to crank and ran really strong for a while. Drove it with good results and then on the return home, it began to struggle when...

Ok. The problem seems to be completely sporadic now. Drives fine for a few miles sometimes and then sometimes starts almost immediately after cranking it. I did notice that this hose on top of the engine that runs from the valve cover to the throttle body seemed very oily, especially at the 90...

Can anybody recommend a mechanic in Tuscaloosa? Looking for someone that is reputable, affordable, and willing to work on an OBD1 Land Cruiser. The last mechanic that was recommended told me it would cost about 85 to hook up a scanner and then told me there wasn't much he could do when I told...

Scratch that. Just let it cool for a while and went to start it again. Started stumbling shortly after startup. Also noticed that there is an excessive amount of moister/ steam from the exhaust. More that usual on a cold day. Could it possibly be a tank of bad fuel?

Drove it around for a while. Seemed like it took longer than usual for the symptoms to arise after a cold start. VAF tested and within tolerances. Knock sensor connector replaced.
