Good Marning Cruiser Heads,
I have a 1994 FJZ80. I suspect my front differential pinion seal is leaking but I want to be sure. Assuming it is the pinion seal, is there a kit I should buy or do I just need to buy a new seal and install it?
I'm not a mechanic but do wrench on my own cars and...
Update:
I picked up my Cruiser today. In a nutshell, the coolant level was a smidge low and there was as some sort of an air pocket near the throttle body.
Turned out to be fairly simple really. He had a huge funnel specifically designed to get all the air out of the system and top it off.
Yes, I should be picking it up Friday. I let my mechanic work on it in his "convenient " time, that way I get help on the bill. I'll chime back in with the exact diagnosis when I pick up the rig. Thanks for following up.
It's still unsolved. This is my 3rd vehicle so it's not dire that I figure this out now. I just did the lower ball joint in my runner and am replacing the contacts on my starter in my truck. So I plan to have a local mechanic (he works primarily on Toyotas) take a look at it.
I wi definitely...
I did some looking, it seems it could be the "fuel pressure regulator "? If it is, how should I go about checking/testing it? I do have a manual (Gregory's) and has some instructions on taking it off. Should I just try and tighten it???? Please, any helpful responses asap would be lost...
Update again:
I have narrowed down the hissing noise I think. Here it goes...all I have to do is turn the key in the "ON" position to hear the hissing noise. I have attached some more pictures of exactly where it's coming from. It seems to me that it's fuel related. Hopefully someone can...
I have a few headlamps....it's time I dont have. And I usually prefer to look at my vehicles in the light as it's far better than night with a headlamp. And thanks, I do have a few people locally I can talk to. But it's tough because they are not close enough to see the rig.
I'm a little confused by your comments. Is the EGR valve separate from the "readiness monitor drive pattern"?
And what does a CEL have to do with my issue? I dont have any codes or lights blinking
Update: I had time to start and restart the rig a few times. Shortly after startup it will die if I don't keep the pedal down. The higher the rpms the smoother it runs. However, it will die if I let off the gas.
Yesterday I heard a hissing noise coming from the engine. So I tried to narrow it...
