This is starting to drive me bonkers. I'm in Oregon for what it's worth, may be moisture related? Here's what's happened:
A few months back I went to fire up my 95 (260K miles, a bit of a beater but it's been reliable) for a grocery run and it would crank but wouldn't catch. Fiddled with it...
I have this strange intermittent problem. Only has happened twice in the last month. On a cold start. The engine fires up, runs rough, all warning lights are on. I turn key off. Start again and runs normal ?.. I suspect maybe the ignition switch. I recently replaced the battery. Never...
A few weeks ago, while off road in Anza Borrego, my 1997 FZJ 80 failed to start after short stop. It cranked ok, fired and then coughed and died. Subsequently cranking it produced no firing at all, just cranking away from the starter. After 30-40 seconds of additional cranking it did finally...
I have a Clifford remote start unit that has worked pretty flawlessly until the last couple weeks. One out of every maybe 30 cold starts, starting the car via the key won't work. The lights come on the dash, but it doesn't turn over or try to start at all. If I lock it with the keyfob and...
Hi... I have a small issue with my door lock actuator. Intermittent issue cropped up this past weekend after the car had been sitting for a week, and has been continuing for the past several days.
Ordinarily when I unlock/lock the driver's door externally with the key, all door/tailgate...
I would check spark and fuel pressure at the no start situation. Here's a post I did a decade ago that explains how to check fuel pressure. Truck now has 440K and this specific issue has not happened since then...
I recently rebuilt the 1FZFE engine in my 1995 land cruiser. Prior to the rebuild, the vehicle sat for a year. Just prior to pulling the engine, the starter was acting as if it was weak even with a new battery. It would only engage the flywheel and turn over the engine one in twenty attempts...
Hey all,
So for some time my 94 cruiser has had this issue. Starter will click when engaged but no start. I could turn the key about 15 times then it would start. Has taken more lately.
New denso 2k starter installed. Problem followed.
New starter power cable, new ground to block, and new...
Has anybody had a heater blower that runs then not? I can be driving along, and it just shuts off. I have replaced the blower, and removed the dash controls, cleaned inside the best I could. The buttons all have nice crisp snaps, between speeds, and redirecting air flow.
Blower off/on does...
Does the weird start happen every time you crank to start or intermittently? I did not expect mine to be the battery either as it was not old and did not have signs of it being the problem.
Hello everyone! I have an intermittent starting problem that started this summer. I have to hold the key in start position for a long time before it eventually cranks then start. Sometimes it doesn’t at all and I have to keep on trying (holding in start) until it eventually starts. Since then...
97 LC with 290k. When cold it always starts perfectly; fast idle at 1200-1300 then idles down to 600 over a few minutes. When hot also starts perfectly at 800-1000, then immediately down to 600. Normal idle is so smooth when stopped that barely anything can be felt through the steering wheel...
Here is a picture of my new starter and install pic... My intermittent no start woes is actually my factory NSS harness connection, and not the starter itself.
I guess I’d understood from all the great info here that fusible links failed for mechanical reasons, etc., but hadn’t really understood they could fail in an intermittent way that would make them darn hard to troubleshoot.
Short story is my LX450 developed an issue where the engine bay got...
I’m chasing down a similar situation, all things lead to the solinoid so I swapped it with a spare denso starter I had, still the same, click but no engagement of the starter though now it not intermittent. Only thing that has allowed it to start now and then is after I have the battery...
I assume when you say will not start, you mean it will not crank.
Classic signs of a failing starter. Toyota starters have contacts that will wear out and will intermittently fail until they fully fail. It isn't a horrible job to replace the starter. You can also rebuild it to replace those...
The passenger rear door had been stuck closed for awhile now, i just never had the drive to mess with it. I tried everything to get it open, and in the end, had to sacrifice the door panel to get to the guts. For some reason the child lock had become engaged, and wouldn't open from the outside...
I’m gonna order some lithium grease so that I can do this. My reverse lights work but I get the intermittent start I have replaced the starter, The wires that go to the starter, all of my grounds and fusible link. This is the only other thing I can think of that might be causing my issue.
All four starters made similar noise including the original. I was fighting the intermittant click no start problem and worked through it. The noise was a secondary issue. Now I'm focused on resolving the grinding noise.
Hi all, first time posting, many times visited. I have an issue with my 93 FJ80. Every week and a half to 2 weeks, the rig will not start. It does this only after it has sat overnight. I remove the EFI 15 amp fuse and the EFI relay for a few minutes to reset the ECU (Computer) and then it...
