Hi mud, I would rather not buy this tool. Anybody have one in san diego, that would let me use it? Chris

Hey boys. Wanted to follow up. The vsv under the manifold ended up being the culprit, cleared the code by replacing it. Trucks running great, idle is back to normal and weird shifting has stopped. How the hell the vsv can cause those two symptoms, I don't really understand. If anybody has an...

Just the PAIR, but that was after the high idle when hot behavior begun.

I appreciate the video sir, I have set the timing to 3 degrees. Starting to think I had a hidden EGR code I didnt know about when I did the dizzy swap. Everything seems fine now, just higher RPMs than normal when the truck is hot. I played with the tranny cable and was able to get the shifting...

I cannot fine this one for some reason. I have tried PAIR, reed, rubber, hose, tube, and I cannot get a hit.

Hey boys. I set the timing to three degrees, pulled out the jumper, and let the car settle. Everything seemed to be back to normal, RPMs sitting at like 650 at idle. My Park idle was also low. Today, it started normally, but once hot, seemed to go back to the same symptoms it was showing, which...

Thanks everybody for the info. Going to harbor freight after work to grab a timing light. Anybody recommend one? The analog ones seem to work pretty well per threads on this forum, and are like 30$.

Also forgot to mention I jumped back in the whip and it’s back to normal. It was normal all day, until I stopped to get gas, where the issue started. I let it sit for the last two hours and now it’s back to normal?

God damnit. I certainly did not set it to 3. And just to be clear, you’re saying after I was done installing the dizzy, I should have moved it back to 3, then started it? If it was at 0 still, what would that mean for the truck currently? Thanks sir

Hey boys. I got a new oem dizzy in the rig, I am pretty certain everything was correctly installed. 0 degree setting and lined up rotor and teeth on the gear end of the dizzy. Truck is running fine, EXCEPT that my idle moved up. In P Im sitting like 1000-1100, and at 900 or like 875 in drive...

And just to make sure, PAIR delete is not kosher for smogging in california, right?

My 93 fzj80s PAIR valve lost a stud. The very small stud, holds one of the two secondary valves (marked in photo below) to the larger part of the valve. Somehow, one of mine backed itself out. Curious if anyone knows how to find the right stud, or if I'll even be able to get one in there. I...

Hi all, there is a well documented fuel tank phenomenon, where a hairline fracture appears along a certain position on the top of the tank. Based on what I have read, it is a design flaw. After reading a bunch of the threads, people do not recommend welding (there is some term for the type of...

Per @cruiserdan it aint gonna be fun. You need to drop the tranny. Might want to go after anything else transmission realted while youre doing it.

My two cents, as someone who has been driving his FZJ80 in California for the last 5 years, I cannot wait to get a second car. Its a ****en terrible daily and I really think your original thought was just wrong. Use it for everything other than your commute and you will be a happy man. Grab some...
