My FJ80 is stock, no lift, nothing changed from when new (except oil, filters, plugs, etc.).

Thanks for the good advice Jon, you always come through. I'll look up on how to lock the CDL but to save time can you give me the steps? (there are lots of locks, buttons and levers available to me sitting in the drivers seat, and I'm not familiar with them all. Thanks, Bob.

Hi all, I've had a clunk for many years in my 1991 land cruiser, about 180K miles on it. I recently had enough money to buy a new driveshaft so I went for it. Found a fellow on ebay that custom makes them with new U-joints and splines. I sent him my measurements, 41 inches from flange to flange...

I wanted to give an update and also to thank everyone who helped me with this problem. The R side oxygen sensor was bad. I did the jumper in the electronics box that gave me the codes for a bad O2 sensor. Then verified it by testing ohm level at the 2 black wires to the sensor, there was no...

That's good to know, I suspect they just kept lying once they couldn't get the CEL reset or the rough idle fixed. I know how to find the codes by using a jumper wire and I'll try to find out what the codes are today. Bob.

Thanks for the additional info. The CEL does come on immediately on start so I will inspect the wiring and test the O2 sensors. From my research I've found that I can test them without removing by reading Ohms while not running and reading fluctuating voltage while running. Bob.

Thanks for the guidance, I'll try to trace the wiring and look at the sensors tomorrow. Bob.

Hi John, I wanted to thank you for your help so far. Looking at the thread I can see why you were frustrated trying to get the message to me that I was looking at the "module" connection and had missed the "fuse" location. I don't know why my computer didn't show your posts, maybe I needed to...

I'll be checking that out best I can but I'm no mechanic, will just look for issues. Thanks, Bob.

Yes, that's when the codes started and the rough idle. Is that an unusual occurrence or normal? Do you think that just driving it now after doing the EFI fuse trick will make it better? The Muffler shop was no help, they just didn't have the knowledge about old trucks to figure out how to get...

OK, took out the EFI fuse for 15 minutes and replaced it. No change in the rough idle OR the CEL (still on). I think my next move is to get under the truck to check the O2 sensors and wiring and make sure they didn't bugger anything up. I won't be back here for awhile but if anyone has any other...

OK, so far, disconnected the battery for a bit, no change. Took out the I understand John, the last post I mde was before I read what you wrote, thanks, Bob.

Well, thanks John, good advice, I will try it now and let you know the results. Bob.

OK, well, somebody did Something! There's no wiring going to the EFI fuse location and there's this funny looking gizmo with wires from under the fuse box going to it. Looks like somebody rewired it for some reason and it DID run nicely for many years this way. There's no way I could ever figure...

Hmm, the previous own was the original owner and 80 years old when I bought the truck, a rich businessman so I know he didn't tamper with it, might have been a shop he took it to though. I will look more closely at the wiring to see if anything is amiss but there's no obvious evidence of...
