Actually had an ignition coil go bad about 2 weeks ago and replaced all 8 of them, but it appeared to be unrelated to the hot starting problem

The charcoal canister is an easy thing to check. Takes 5 minutes to pull it out, just make sure you take a picture of where all the hoses go before you disconnect them. My faulty charcoal canister had a slight bulge on the side, and the charcoal inside was solid as a rock. On the new one, I...

Reviving this thread to finally write that this problem has been solved. I replaced the charcoal canister a few months back and have not had a single issue since. The old canister was hard and swollen. This came after I nearly got rid of the LC out of frustration from this problem. 3 shops in my...

Got it running! Ended up being an issue with the immobilizer. I noticed the flashing key on the dash kept flashing even when I turned the key. I locked and unlocked the doors a few times and rolled down the window, noticed the flashing key speed up, and turned the key again. It started right up…

All the plugs are properly seated, and nothing else got disconnected, all the hoses on the air box are back together. I checked the fuses, and nothing looks blown. Haven’t checked the relays yet…

It’s cranking, but not turning over at all.

I changed the ignition coils on my 1999 Land Cruiser with 250k this morning. I forgot to disconnect the battery while I removed the first ignition coil. I caught the mistake and had it disconnected when I changed the remaining 7 coils. After putting everything back together, the Land Cruiser...

Yes, they sold. Sorry about that - I'll update the thread

Selling a used engine room junction box that I took off my 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser over the summer. Willing to ship at buyer's expense or local pick up in Monument, CO. Asking $100 or best offer.

I'm getting new wheels and tires on Friday this coming week, so I'm selling 4 stock wheels with Nitto Trail Grapplers. The wheels were plastidipped in 2019 (there is no peeling or damage to the plastidip) and the Nittos are older but still have some useful life left in them. Local pick up in...

I seem to be having similar issues that are described in this thread. I have not witnessed gas spill out of the tank or heard it boiling, but I have noticed some dirt and drips around the gas cap area on my body. My main issue has been struggling to start when hot. I posted this on a different...

It was the one with two wires. I believe the other one is just for the gauge

So would this be a charcoal canister thing? I've been hesitant to replace it due to the cost, but maybe that would align with the evap system codes? Cool, I'll try some ethanol free fuel. There's a place by my house that sells it so that's definitely worth a test. I'll look into the heat...

I have been trouble starting my truck when the engine is hot. Here are the details: Year: 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser Location: Colorado (~6-7000ft) Mileage: 203k Here is what's happening: I drive the car until the engine is hot, then shut it off. If started again immediately after turning it off...

They're LED JW Speaker 8700 Evolution J lights. The problem was there before I installed these when I had the oem headlights though.
