    Another MPG Thread

    Thought i'd contribute even though I run Defenders and stock height + stock bumpers + no armor in a 98 LC. Only reason im sharing is because my mileage seems to be exceptionally good considering the kind of driving I do (65-85mph on the freeway and some city + some elevation). I drive as fast as...

    258k and 365k engine tear downs

    Just my experience as a car and LC noob, my 98 LC was out of time after doing some work on it and I was convinced it wasn't starting due to an electrical problem because I sparked the alternator with a wrench and caused other problems like parasitic drain.. I was convinced a sensor like the...

    I think the 100a fusible link is for international models

    Land cruiser buying advice - not running

    I'm not a very experienced person with this vehicle, having had it for only about a year and reading MUD for about 6 months, but i had a similar issue with mine. Worst case scenario its the ECU but could just be fuses or fusible links. Sounds like the ECU isnt sending the proper signal to the...

    98 LC wont start or Jump

    Yes I touched the B+ wire with a wrench and it sparked very briefly. I've replaced the fuses in the positive terminal as well. One thing I've noticed that is out of spec is the magnetic clutch in the throttle control motor. According to FSM it's supposed to have an ohm reading of 4.2 to 5.2 but...

    98 LC wont start or Jump

    Ever since I arced my alternator changing my belt tensioner I've been having trouble starting my 1998 LC. I've done all the obvious things: replaced fusible links, replaced all fuses, alternator tested good, new battery, new crankshaft sensor, new ECU, new PCV valve and new MAF sensor. My main...

    MAF connector question

    Yes I do, about 12 volts. I've determined my problem to be a little more serious than a bad MAF and connector (both of which I changed). My engine seems to be running "backwards" since their is suction at the tail pipe and gas is blowing OUT of the intake. Timing seems to be 180° out even though...

    Seeking P/N for missing bolt.

    Looks like that is the stud that holds the camshaft sensor. It has an acorn nut that screws on and holds on that bracket

    Key Fob

    Just a question, does everyone experience this short of range with their fobs? I just programmed mine for the first time a couple days ago and I get 50ft+ of range. Is it possible the previous owner replaced the antenna with a stronger one? I feel like I'm the only person on here with such a...

    MAF connector question

    Ok I tried it without it being plugged in and still not starting. Very odd problem I'm having here 🧱🧱🧱

    MAF connector question

    My connector has 5 wires and that one appears to have 4. Any chance you have another part number that could perhaps be it? Can anyone who has a multimeter confirm? Only reason I'm asking is because I've seen errors in the FSM before and want to independently verify. I have a 1998 LC

    MAF connector question

    Hey everyone, I posted another thread detailing my Crank/no start condition and have come with a more specific question. When performing this diagnostic step, I get a measurement of .5 volts. Obviously this isn't in the specified range. My question is: could this be a cause of my Crank/no...
