Too many projects and not enough time. Up for Grabs in NC '92 FJ80, 145K miles....$3500/obo. Runs and looks good, all stock including the underbody rust (will post pics in a few days of that). New A/C compressor last summer, works great. Cruise doesn't work, did throw a CEL code last...

Bump...Message sent.

This is an awesome thread. I can confirm the quality of an older model GE Micro. After a discussion with the :princess: where we had somewhat different opinions I decided to take out a bit of frustration with noted GE Micro. I used the side of my right hand to close door on said GE Micro...

Go to your local mom and pop electronics\tv store and pick up a Sony. When I bought mine they were honest in telling me that Sony doesn't sell different models based on the dealer. You buy the same model at WalMart as you would at BB or the local guy. Buy from the local guy and remind him...

Not sure about the Ford Newfie comment. I have been to the big island and they drive like nuts. Her father scares the s*** out of me when I am up there. We once took to the off road with a John boat on the back, how it managed to stay on is beyond me. He was driving a work truck and...

Thanks for all the replies. Will check these items tonight or tomorrow hopefully. She is a Canadian (Newfie) transplanted in the South. I think that has something to do with the wild mood swings. She is getting better. She actually complimented the LC and stated 'I would drive that'. Not...

I will try to pull the seat up and check the top of the tank but I am thinking it is only after fill ups since I have not noticed leaks in the garage. Are there any Mud tricks to checking the filler neck? Disclaimer: this is my 'semi' rust bucket which I picked up off fleaBay. The LC spent...

My wife would see me laying there and just pour it on my head. And if she were pissed likely to strike a match just to verify it were gas. I need other options?

The :princess: has been complaining about the gas smell in the garage since I picked up the '92 LC back in May. At first I thought it was 'old' gas smell since it had set for about a yr prior to me purchasing it. I have now confirmed my fears, after filling up last week I noticed a puddle...

I got a quote from CDan today and it wasn't too bad. Haven't placed the order yet but will likely do so tomorrow unless anyone can chime in and make some suggestions. I really hate ordering a $100 part not knowing if it is the cause of my problem. I guess this is the price you pay for being a...

I have searched, read and searched some more all over Mud. So far everything seems to be pointing to the coil (i think) but me being the newbie I am could be completely off base. I will do some calling around tomorrow and check on prices. Thanks for everyone's help to get me to this point.

After a very long month of not being able to touch the TLC I have found CEL Code 14 and the posting earlier on the secondary coil is 4.7K ohm. Can anyone offer suggestions or where to proceed?

My mistake. I should have specified primary coil resistance @ .5-.6ohm and secondary resistance @ 4.7ohm. I haven't had a chance to check the codes yet, hope to do that tonight after a search for the correct procedure. As far as checking for spark, is that as simple as pulling plug and...

'92 w/142K picked up about 4 months ago, few problems up to this point, nothing major. Since purchasing I have done a bit of pm including fuel filter (not the sock yet), PCV, oil change, belts. Yesterday after about a 15 mile drive it shut off while driving behind a tractor. Timing was...

It is strictly a play truck. I am fortunate enough to have a company truck for work. I would like to get road worthy enough to drive to NC coast for a fishing outting maybe by the fall.
