She has a 1FZ in her. Definitely something I will consider before replacing. By "cavitate" do you mean only hard turning sometimes in some sections vs. all the time? If so... maybe? I think she's pretty rough almost all the time. There's nowhere in the full spectrum of her turn radius where...

Well... I figured it out... god damnit guys... after all this... it was the fuel pump. I got frustrated this past weekend and said to myself "**** it, I know the previous owner said he just replaced it, but I NEED to just check." ... pulled the fuel pump out and although it was a replacement...

This is awesome information Flint! Thank you for sharing. I just ordered that one fitting you linked me to earlier in this discussion thread. Hopefully it's the correct one this time. :S I just recently replaced the fuel filter on my 1FZ and I gotta say, I personally find it harder to access...

Hey guys, the ol’ girl has had a real weak and noisy power steering pump since I bought her in the summer. Replacing/rebuilding the pump is on the agenda but I’m not sure if the pump currently on the vehicle is a stock Toyota oem part or a rebuilt aftermarket one... after all, this thing has...

... and now I feel like a bit of an idiot. :) Thank you flintknapper! I'll be sure to order it once the seller is back from vacation (which I had no idea you could "be" on eBay.... away for vacation.... interesting).

I just recently had to replace the hard fuel line that runs from the back of the fuel filter to that location (after I completely twisted and destroyed it... whoops) and while it wasn't easy, it wasn't too bad... took some patience for sure, though. Any chance I can pay you to order those two...

Hey guys, I've been trying to find this adapter piece for my fuel pressure testing kit so I can test the fuel pressure at the rail on my LX450. I've tried ordering this piece from three locations in the Sates that offer shipping to Canada and all three times the size has been wrong. I've tried...

Good to know. I'll check that location, as well. Thank you!

Good to know. I think what I'm experience is much more severe. You could roll a cup faster down the street than she's moving and until I put her in neutral and press the gas pedal on and off and on and off and on and off for a good ten to twenty second until she very slightly corrects herself...

New fuel filter, old one was definitely pretty clogged but didn't solve the issue. Can you suggest which hoses to check that, if cracked, would cause this severe of a power loss? Thanks guys. Tram

Gonna check that tonight. PS - I used to play hockey at UMich. Go Blue. :)

I gotta believe a faulty TPS would still allow you to somewhat drive the vehicle, no? Like, she might be rough but you'll still be able to move... my situation is pretty much a total and complete loss of power... until it smartens up for a few seconds and then it's right back to no power and...

Not sure which fuel pump. Are there aftermarket garbage replacements out there? Seems unlikely he replaced it, ran for a year fine and then the week after he sells the vehicle to me it goes? Fuel is new. I'll definitely check the wiring harness near the EGR and replace the fusible links near...

Hey guys, long, long, long, loooooooooooooooooooong time lurker. Grew up in an old diesel Land Cruiser my Dad used to drive us up and down the Alaskan highway every other weekend. I was about ten seconds away from buying a newer GLK450 and I just couldn't do it. So, logically, I did the next...
