Awesome, thanks.

This is no longer the original starter, this is a replacement . I was just curious if there was an upgrade for it, that's all. Thanks

I just don't know if the parts are interchangeable, I need a new starter anyway.

Hey everyone, I just finished debugging a no start when hot on my truck that was driving me crazy. My starter is no bueno, I did change the plunger and contacts about a year ago and really haven't used the truck and I would like to replace the whole starter now. My questions is: Will a larger...

So here´s an update, she is alive and well. I went back and and checked all the electrical connectors that had to do with the engine and made sure they were clean and connected correctly, the computer was removed and checked. Adjusted the valves, reset the timing and tightened a few things...

Awesome mod, I have to sit in traffic for long periods of time and this is a great upgrade. The only bummer is that I have a 91 fj80, will this work with my alternator? Thanks, Gio

I adjusted a few more things that were pending ( NOT ENGINE RELATED), the screw on the distributor was loose. I adjusted the timing a bit without a light and the hesitation went away. I will get my timing light tomorrow and time it, do you know how many rpm does the ecu needs to see to open the...

I am thinking the injectors aren't firing when cranking, the engine will start with external fuel source.

It sounds like this because there is not catalytic converter, I haven't tested compression but as I said before once running and up to temp it doesn't misfire nor it looses power at any time. I do need to adjust the valves, this truck was quite neglected when i got it, I've had it for about 10...

I stopped using the truck for about 2 months and it sat on the driveway then it started after that. The cold injector and time switch are also up to specs. This has been going on for about a year now, since I have other vehicles is not a problem but I do want to get her tip top shape again. I...

The engine will no longer hesitate once it starts warming up.

Here are a few videos of the symptoms. This will show the hesitation when accelerating (COLD). This one will show the no start.

No go partner, the isc is working to specs, it closes and opens as it should.

I do have it, I will diagnose it today and report the back the results. One thing I did was remove the coolant lines that go to the isc and intake manifold but it already had that no start problem. Do those affect it in any way?

So I held the accelerator down while cranking (cold) and it started, it stumbled a bit then it stabilized. When it's cold and I press hard on the accelerator it will stumble and smells rich. Once warm the hesitation goes away. Tried starting it again after 5 minutes running with the pedal...
