I need a new distributor. I need part numbers, because I'm running into all sorts of different looking distributors, and some are advertised as being for 2F, 3F, and 4.2L motors. For the record, I have a 1991 Land Cruiser with the 3FE.

Sorry I haven't posted in a couple days. So it has to be the ECU. Swapped the igniter and coil with known good parts, no change. The computer gets power, regardless. When the truck runs, there is voltage on the IGT wire from the ECU to the igniter. When the truck won't start, it cranks, there...

Thanks for the info! Glad to hear that this is an issue that's been dealt with before! I'll contact him Monday, even though he's in Texas. Lol. I'm pretty sure this is the issue. I might have explained it poorly, but I think this is it. God I hope so.

Well, looks like I'm going to be buying a computer and an igniter. No parts locally to troubleshoot with. Fml

So if the igniter module is bad/intermittent, there won't be any reading on the IGT (black/green?) wire out of the computer? There doesn't appear to be an chafed wires going through the fire wall, and the truck isn't starting; we have 0 volts on the IGT wire. Short of taking an O-scope from...

John, what is the part number for the correct igniter? Are the igniters from 3FEs in FJ62s compatible?

I'll check it out! Thank you

It's at my buddy's shop. From what I understand, it's a continuous pulse put of about 5V. However, the measured value is 0V. He also had a spark tester hooked up. Like I said, the problem was/is intermittent. When it starts, there's a readable value, and visible spark via the tester. We've gone...

It's not a fuel issue, after all. The IGT circuit out of the computer isn't getting voltage. Voltage in the computer, voltage out is intermittent. Trying to find an affordable computer now.

Finding a computer for this is going to be a nightmare, isn't it?

Distributor is clean. Something is wrong in the computer. IGT coming out of the computer has no output. Anyone know where to get a 3FE ECU?

Yeah. I guess I'm the third owner. The last owner only drove it a couple times a year to go camping, hunting etc. Then I bought it and started daily driving it about three months ago. So I kind brought this upon myself. Lol

I'll check again; like I said, airshow, + all my bad luck this weekend, I was a little distracted, and ready to drive the cruiser (if it started!) off a cliff. I'll post results this afternoon

I used MAF sensor cleaner. Didn't take it apart. And no, I have to do that this afternoon, and I'll get back to you. On top of everything else, I got a flat tire on my patient, long suffering girlfriend's car, and had to track down a new tire yesterday. Didn't give me much time to work on the...

Jon, sorry I forgot to reply. The distributor and rotor seem to be in good condition. Not exactly sure what I'm looking for, to be honest, but physically, after pulling the wires and the cap, it looks good. Like I said, when it starts, it seems to run fine. What exactly should I be looking for...
