I don't think the 12ht would be a victim to runaway from oil with their shutdown system.

I was thinking of doing the exact same thing, have you done it yet? I haven't read all the comments yet.

I was missing my drivers side anti rate spring but pads were on metal so maybe it was there at one point. Are the 60 pins and anti rattle springs the same as 75? Ebay has a kit for $15 that fits 60 & 75 and another listing for the 70-75 for $10. If anyone can confirm they are the same springs...

I gotta check my valves, got a very bad miss and tons of black smoke. Can you send me the manual too please? 🙏

Awesome, thanks. I was wondering what this was, and I didn't know they needed reseting. Double awesome. Still gotta fix the switch. It doesn't return to centre and I think that's What tripped it.

Take it out & Use a multimeter to check continuity

Hi ToyotaMatt, She's a FJ62 cab & loom on a HJ61 chassis, I think the spade connector was loose causing it to heat up (I've temporarily tightened it) , the wires felt cool when I loaded the system up, the fusible links got warm. But that other wire in the Pic with a crack in the insulation...

It turns on again in about 5 minutes, wouldn't a fusible link go open circuit without being able to close again? Also where would it be? The 62 has a power outlet between the air filter mounts and when it stopped there was no voltage on either the Batt, Acc or ig posts. While I'm waiting for a...

My 62 (with 12ht) runs nice for over 10000km but it has turned off while driving twice, no dash lights, acc or anything besides my fitted day running lights & hazards. After about 5 minutes it all comes back. Everything seems tight, would/could the ignition barrel switch be the cause? Or self...

How did the sale go? Would be a sweet piggy, definitely rare now. I noticed the tail lights are different to the one I had here in Australia, they are higher up, mine were low and all together. Is that a geographic thing or a year thing?

I had another smaller white wire in there but I think it was joined to the sense wire from memory, it was joined at the alternator end of the loom. Might have to have another look.

@shanko I've taped it all up but I'll undo it in the morning and snap some pics 🙂 Sorry for late response but I'll edit this post tomorrow. So I've snapped some pics and drew a Lil diagram, I did check the connections with a multimeter to make sure they went to the right places, it worked out...

Well all done, was easy enough, pipes are easy to get at, I poured into small jug and hung off the ps hose. No nasties came out but the exhaust doesn't puff at idle now. I thought the primer pump wasn't working as there wasn't much resistance but it was, the purge must have freed it up.

Still haven't looked under for that bleeder but I changed wheels over and the front right of my fj had really loose wheel bearing, I'm talking about a degree or 2 camber slop. Tyre was chewed on the outside around 5mm on shoulder so putthat on the back. That would push the calliper pistons back...

I will try it on a 12ht, she's been sitting for years but still runs perfect, liqui moly say it's safe for all diesels. Might buy a cheap filter incase some crud comes out as I literally just changed all the filters.
