Hi all, Desperately need some suggestions here. I have a 97 1HD-FT japanese import. Have done the fuel pump sometime back but there was a persistent nozzle clatter - or at least I thought it was and I just replaced all the nozzles. The nozzle removal and installation was done at a pump shop...

Hot idle problems 1HD-FT My idling problems continue with my 1HD-FT. Engine stalls after having run on the highway for an hour or so as soon as I put the clutch in or allow it to idle. Any ideas folks ? Let me describe the problem a little bit more. Engine idles fine at start up and at about...

Folks, Have a problem with my 80 series 1HD-FT idling when the steering wheel is turned. What happens is that there is no vacuum available to the diaphragm and actuator when the wheel is turned. This much I have established with some trial and error methods. What could be the reason for this...

Thanks Tapage... that was very helpful.

Hi all...wanted to know if anyone has any advice about intercooler sizes for the 1HZ and the 1HDFT engines. A friend of mine has a after market turbo on his 1HZ but wanted to add an intercooler and I have a stock 1HDFT and want to add an intercooler. The Safari kits are way out of budget -...

Major Improvement Hi Guys, the IP service has really helped. I got my Fuel Pump and the injectors serviced and the difference is unbelievable. The pump is a lot less noisy and there is no more ticking/knocking noise at all. The engine revs up much better, and the fuel consumption has reduced...

Hi guys, you may recall I had posted a few days back about my 1HD-FT's idling issues and the knocking that I was hearing from below. Finally got the BEB's on my 1HD-FT engine done a couple of days back...all were more or less ok except No 1 - which was marked quite badly and had 1 part eaten...

Phew...finally got the BEB's done last night...all were more or less ok except No 1 - which was marked quite badly and had 1 part eaten into. Messed up on the plastigauging though - the FSM says to torque to spec and then turn 90degrees and then measure. I didnt and the clearance turned out to...

Sorry, one more thing...I cant find any real oil consumption at all -the level looks like it drops about 1mm after about 5K kms.

Absolutely its a ticking sound. When i bought my LC - the oil pressure was not at the right levels - ie, between 1/4 and 3/4 in normal driving conditions - after I changed the oil pressure sender it improved drastically. Now its at about 3/4 on a hot engine at 2100 rpm. I guess thats about...

Thanks a lot for the help !! Found the problem - disconnected vaccuum hosing to the ac idle up actuator doh !!! Have a knocking sound from my engine that sounds suspiciously like the BEB's might be suspect. Couple of questions: 1. If I had to change the BEB's - is ACL a good choice - what...

Thanks a ton. Mine is a Manual transmission. Let me go and check on these and have a look at the vacuum hosing as per this diagram and I'll let you know how it goes...thanks again..very useful information.

Hi guys, am a newbie here and new to LC's. I have a 1HDFT 97 LC which has a problem with the idling. Starts up very low and then settles down at about 600 rpm. However as soon as the AC is switched on - it drops and the engine shuts off. Checked the vacuum pump and it works fine but there no...

Thanks...will do - and yes, I am outside the states - in India as a matter of fact.

Hi all, am a newbie to this forum and to Landcruisers in general. Just bought myself a 1997 80 series with the 1HD-FT engine. Only to discover a problem with the starter motor soon after buying it. Wanted to know if anyone could point me to any sites where they have decent prices for the...
