No luck with the GM igniter. Troubleshooting with zero service and no FSM isn't fun. The issue turned out to be a bad Hall effect sensor in the distributor. Didn't realize this until after I had cut up and swapped the ignitor. Ended up renting a U-Haul and towing it all the way home. Of course...

My FJ62 died this weekend, about 3 hours from my house. It was driving just fine, and all of a sudden, it was dead. Troubleshooting on the side of the road showed no spark. Figured it was either the coil or the igniter. A super friendly farmer lent me a coil off his tractor to test, but no joy...

I’ll have to go look tomorrow.

I had no luck and got tired of trying something to work. Sorry.

I thought it did but no. After I replaced the pump it started a tad bit better, but when I went to test fuel pressures the banjo adaptor I had snapped. Two months to get two new ones delivered. And months more to get around to testing. I’m losing pressure as soon as the pump shuts off. I’m going...

OEM might be that expensive, not sure if you can even get those anymore. City Racer has it listed as a high quality aftermarket. The ones on rockauto run from $15-80. But I trust city racer and would rather a vendor like them get my money. Was reading through the FSM and 3FE repair manual this...

Haven’t since first got it. Replaced the plugs last oic but that after the starting issue began.

Yeah I tested what I could/can before replacing stuff. Cold Start Injector Temperature switch test is just a resistance reading between the terminals. Which was fine but the connector on the harness was broken so I replaced it wtih a newer style switch which was suppose to come with a new...

Back story, I've had my 1988 FJ62 for about 3 years now. When I got it went on jack stands while I went through everything and cleaned it up. About a year or so ago it started having starting issues. It'll crank and crank just until you start questioning if it's actually going to start and then...

Was working through some issues on my FJ62 today, mainly a hard start issue, but was checking everything over. Ended up realizing I had a vacuum line that was pulled when I desmogged my FJ62 a few years ago and was causing the EVAP system not to function correctly. Anyways while troubleshooting...

If you wanted the actual factory part number here it is... I think

Since I used AN6 lines I used adaptors to connect with those. Pretty sure my hoses have some angled AN fittings, maybe a 45 on one and 90 on the other. Don't remember to be honest Fragola Performance Systems 460614-BL Fragola Performance Systems AN to Metric Adapter Fittings | Summit Racing -...

I always think of it compared to the body of the vehicle. The closer it is to the body, it’s more like there’s a load in the back and increases the pressure to the rear brakes.

I was originally considering this because of all the issues I've had. Trying to play the game of getting more line pressure versus fluid movement. However, I think the T100 MC is sized fairly correctly for having the 4Runner calipers installed. Overall, I think the "Upgrades" (4runner...

Forgot about this thread until @WoodnotRust posted, but I have updates. Recently measured the runout on the on the front rotors on my FJ62. Just on one of the rotors and only on one face, but it was 0.004". I had put on new rotors back in 2020, they were Centric P/N 32044037 and I'm pretty...
