Thanks. Yes, the intermittent aspect makes it difficult.

Thanks for all the info/ideas. Really appreciate it. Will try to get answers to your questions (a mechanic who doesnt really work on fj60s did the work so I dont know the details). I believe he installed an aftermarket carb but will check. My layman’s understanding is that he disconnected and...

Wondering if there are any other diagnoses out there for the very rough idling/stalling issue that then corrects itself (see above). Disconnected egr and it’s still happening so doesnt seem like egr issue.

Thanks all! Great info! Will check egr as well as Cruisers and Company!

Great info. Much appreciated. The issue happens on short drives around town while Im driving slowly (5-20mph). Would your diagnosis be the same? Thanks again!

Hi: Wondering if anyone can recommend a good FJ60 mechanic near Boulder CO. There used to be a couple great ones, but they seem to be gone. My ‘87 runs great but the idle has been suddenly dropping to zero while driving. It then runs extremely rough, stalls, feels like it’s not getting gas, etc...

One more thought: Are there rubber pieces that fit over the wheel well area that help keep water out of the seam?

Thanks. Very helpful guys.

Thanks for the advice So even if I clean up the rust between the panels with a small wire wheel, you'd still recommend against sealing and just spray with an oil sealant or anti corrosive oil?

I have an 87 fj60 that's starting to rust a bit in the wheel well areas. Water is getting in between the 2 pieces of metal that join in the wheel well. What do folks recommend to seal this area? Caulk maybe? Any particular brand recommended? Thanks
