Looks great! Just submitted a 'notify me' request on your website.

Haha me neither @b16 till I started delving into the panacea of automatic transmission. Thanks @Malleus I will look again at the NSS again.... could be gear shifter linkage issues maybe? I saw @jonheld post a troubleshooting process here that I'll try...

@ppc lol not asking you to be clairvoyant at all, just looking for some help mate. The starter does not turn, engine does not crank, CEL lights up. It almost seems like there is some kind of immobilizer just in neutral (as I noted in my original post, the starter motor works and engine fires up...

Hello folks - I have a US 1997 80 series, and have a peculiar issue. The Landcruiser won't start in Neutral, and the dash light for 'N' won't light up either. She fires up just fine in Park. For troubleshooting in the FSM and looking at other posts I have: - Checked the NSS (actually replaced...

@Loaferoatan did you end up buying the Gobi bumper? I'm trying to figure out if I can install the Gobi-x rear wheel carrier while keeping my stock OEM bumper (1997 80 series). Wonder if anyone has done it. I will try to call them as well to see what they say...

Oh man I feel so daft, but I'll own the embarrassment. I guess I completely unhooked the ABS ECU by mistake while taking out the OEM alarm in drivers side kick panel a few months ago 🤦‍♂️. Hooked it back up and the ABS warning light is gone. Lmao time for a Monday beer!

Thanks @Mat Jadamec - do you mean you put in a used ABS relay or ABS ECM to get the codes? Thanks

Hey folks - was there any resolution from the original poster back in 2013? I am having the exact same issue with my '97 80 series, went through the same steps. No codes when jumping the diagnostic ports, and ABS light staying on. I did remove one connector on ABS relay in the engine bay, and...

Hey @John Young - many thanks for the response. I ended up just buying the one for the left side and flipped it around. Looks ok to be honest!!

Definitely interested in one as well, if possible to be added to the waitlist. Thanks!

@bpenn1980 - sorry I realize I didn't answer your actual question. Yes it would get to 2200 and then drop to a lower Rev count around 1400. Culprit likely being a short somewhere in the engine harness.

Hey @bpenn1980 - so after tracing all my wires from the wire harness I noticed about 4 that were either shorting or visibly in bad shape. There is also a test in the FSM to check at the ECU for electrical shorts, and I kept getting a bad reading. I ended up just splurging and just getting a new...

Hello folks - had a question on the wiring for the throttle position sensor (tps). I am going through trouble shooting the cruiser not being able to rev above 2200 rpm, and when I remove/unclip the tps she revs just fine, so I'm pretty sure that it is something to do with the tps (read quite a...

Hi folks- I am trying to source a right rear upper seal for a US 80 series (year 1997). It looks to be discontinued by US-based Toyota parts suppliers - I have checked with a few. The part number is 62333-60040-B0. From looking at a few other posts it looks like someone mentioned trying to get...

Many thanks once again @Tedward and @enox - found and fitted that clip and the cruiser fired up - solved my crank-but-no-start issue. Cheers!! 🍻
