I bought eBay carpet a few years back to replace the aged threads, and it's already fading (gray). Now that I researched cleaning and painting/dying carpet, I would have at least attempted to bring new life to the original threads. Something to consider.

Was wondering if anyone actually cut out all the holes for our rotting particle board. Guess I got some work to do with you proving it can be done. Great work. Why 1/8“ thick plastic? Would you recommend going thicker to match particle board thickness?

Agree, check Kickdown cable, correct position (don't cross with cruise control mounting), and you will set beyond original position as these cables stretch. May not be worth mentioning; however, after my rebuild---for whatever reason--- I had a bad solenoid in the transmission. Could be...

When adjusting the AC to 'blue' cold side on the 1994 land cruiser I could hear a ticking sound coming from the servo motor--about an inch from max cold temp. I opened up the dash to inspect the Servo-mix motor and found that I had about 3 teeth that were rounded off and chipped on the main...

2025 update. Tachometer fixed for $2. Followed the 90s MR2 and Supra forums and found that our tachometer board has 2 capacitors that are a high fail item. My 94' has a 6.8uf at 25v and a 100uf at 25v. I replaced both. Of note the 6.8 was leaking so I had a visual sign I was close to my...

Posting my troubleshooting experience on a heater issue on a 1994 GCC Spec LC 80. I was missing a short connector on the wire harness behind the gauge cluster. The story/troubleshooting below. This one may be new to IH8MUD and hope it helps in the future. History: My heater never worked...

Thanks for this. I thought it could be done, and now you are living proof. Trying to avoid opening the AC lines.

Thank you!!

Glad to see the PSI measurements. Back to the electrical troubleshooting. Are you headed for the gauge and cluster next? I think you ruled out everything under the hood.

Recommend change out the transmission fluid. Although it looks fine on the dipstick, remember it is a hydraulic fluid that helps store energy to move gears, clutches, etc--this fluid and its properties wear out over time. Replace the fluid--it sounds like its time.

If I was a thief reading this forum: starter cutout and fuel cutout sound like the most reasonable places I would go--along with every other car forum on anti-theft. Not giving away secrets, think of the signals that require our engine to start. Hint: Can you start our LC if its in drive...

It doesn't hurt to verify. I'll keep an eye on the thread to see your progress. Agreed- if oil pressure is good, turn to the cluster for troubleshooting; you've eliminated everything else.

Can you provide the link or description. This is great.

Have two knock sensors at the ready. Once you twist them off, one of them is bound to throw a code after install.

John, This is Will across the way in Bahrain. I recommend you stop running your engine and open up your oil pan. I spent 3 weeks chasing what I thought was a bad oil pressure sender and wiring--same problem- I was watching my oil pressure gauge slightly move. I was too late ignoring it and I...
