So I ask this because in spite of changing the throttle cable the truck still has what I call an idle issue. Maybe I am mis-labeling that though. The truck will not return to normal idle after pushing through all 4 gears (converted to 4 spd) Most of the time I will have to tap the accelerator...
De-smogged and have had high idle ever since.
Changed the fuel pressure regulator, and fuel damper with the de-smog.
Cleaned the TPS 3 weeks or so back and managed to get the truck to idle as it should for 3 whole weeks.
Today coming home from a hike I noticed the idle claiming higher and...
I am beginning to believe part of my higher than normal idle may be current vacuum line related. I was too stupid or forgetful to take pictures before I did my work so when it came time to put it all back together I was trying to use diagrams from the FSM to make my connections. I kept the...
I recently dismissed. Right on que the small C shaped hose on the thermostat housing began leaking. I removed the motor hoist hook and air pump out to make the hose easier to take off. Well guess what you 62 owners? That air pump mount has bolts that run clean through the head. I removed it...
I give trying to use the freeze plugs. I have lost one and finally after hammering the 2nd plug flew back and hit me in the eye...well in my glasses. I'm through with that. I saw @Spook50 and some others had nifty block off plates. I have looked but outside of buying a whole kit from Lerms I...
I am removing the intake manifold for my desmog. It just seemed impossible with the manifold in place. Any tricks? The only thing I am sweating a little is how to stop fuel trickle from the cold start injector. Anyone else removed this from their truck? There is a whole pile of things to...
I was looking at the huge bolt or nut on the exhasut manifold for the egr. I have the plug already but it looks like the entire thng must come out in order for me to thread this plug in. Is there a cap that will thread onto the outside of this fitting rather than having to remove the existing...
My exhaust is leaking and I love Otramm's SS exhaust but can't afford it right now. Naturally all the pieces Walker made are now obsolete. I need to replace the cats and the Y pipe but will have to make my own from pieces. Does anyone know the measurements of the y pipe end that bolts to the...
To put me into perspectiv, I am 52 years old. Currently own an FJ62. Had it a little over 2 years no. That old truck was literally the first car I ever owned or wrenched on that was water cooled. I had air cooled VW’s all my life.
I always wanted a Landcruiser, since high school. loving...
Hey everyone. Hope everyone is doing well.
Driving to work in the dark I was fumbling for the rear heater switch in the center console. Is that thing supposed to be lit when the headlights are on? See, I told you it was 1st world.
I think I turned the adjusting wheel the wrong way. The wheel is fairly well stuck and the crappy little star wheel will not back off. I understand you need to use 2 screwdrivers but not sure exactly what to do. The tiny slit in the back of the drum us barely large enough for 2 screw drivers...
Is Toyota part # 12151-61011 the 1 piece oil pan gasket for the 3FE pan?
I am getting static at my local dealership as they are telling me there is no Toyota 1 piece oil pan gasket.
I completed a successful auto to 4 speed transmission swap during the early throes of the Covid 19 plandemic. Today I decided it was time to replace the side cover gasket and when trying to set the motor to TDC I discovered I have no idea where it is. Like the jackass I am I forgot to mark the...
I know the obvious answer is a 5 speed. That can’t happen right now. Transmission and transfer already rebuilt and installed. It runs great and I am going to enjoy it. No more stupid kick down cable.
my only concern is the new RPM range. It’s much higher. I am an the 2500 range at 50mph...
Aside from being loads more fun to drive the 4 speed transmission has highlighted the short comings in my exhaust system. After searching for a while on-line it seems no one makes a system including headers for the FJ62 any longer. Is this going to be a visit a local muffler shop type thing to...
My measurements were truck on jack stands front 26 3/8 rear 42 1/2 (just a shade or 2 over but not sure what the actual numerical measurement would be)
Truck wheels on the ground front 26 3/4 rear for whatever reason had the same measurement. I measured a couple of times and it was...
I am ready to call a junk service and pay them to take this pile of FJ62 crap out of my driveway. I have been working on this for a month now and absolutely nothing has gone right, from mis-shipped parts to a 3 day ordeal trying to put the transmission/transfer case into the truck. Oh yeah...
Okay let me preface this by saying I'm the dumbest guy I know.
I am just about ready to drag the transmission and transfer case out and install that (alone too)
I am trying to get the wiring sorted out and have read as many threads as I could find and (at least to me) they all seem a little...
