    2003 GX470 crank but no start

    I've got to admit that I am tempted to replace the injectors and o-rings no matter what as they are 17 years old with 120,000 miles on them. I think I'll download a FSM and work through the injector removal procedure to see how easy/ quick it is. If I have to remove more than the rails and...

    2003 GX470 crank but no start

    Thanks, that's kinda what I was thinking. I'll drop her off at a shop with a little more advanced diagnostic capability that I have. Out of curiouslity, is there a "how to" video or set of instructions floating around the interwebs? I'm having a hard time finding a specific set of instructions...

    2003 GX470 crank but no start

    So after some troubleshooting I have narrowed down my problem. Air is being introduced into the system somehow. I was able to get it runing and stay running after shooting a bit of fuel directly into the intake. This truck has ALWAYS had slightly longer than normal crank times. The crank/ no...

    2003 GX470 crank but no start

    Thanks for the response! I figured out the fuel pump only comes on when the key is cranking/ motor is running the hard way. The pump is running perfectly when I jump the relay contacts. I did replace with OEM Denso unit with the filters. I'll start a new post on my findings last night...

    2003 GX470 crank but no start

    Hi all, I’ve been having an intermittent issue with my GX470. It will crank and crank without starting. It will start and run with starting fluid. Obviously it’s not getting fuel. Let me list what all I’ve done to try to eliminate issues. - new fuel pump -cleaned throttle body -new spark plugs...

    Look what wandered back into my life...

    Haha, I’ll let my daughter know that the back of her Cruiser may need to be steam cleaned! She’s been driving it for about a year and hadn’t had much for issues until yesterday when the oil pump seal let go. I did it once before....10 years ago. Probably time for a new one. Lol Your LX looks...

    Who are we ordering OEM parts from these days?

    Thanks for the help all! (exception of course for the mod 🙄😉) I’ll try hitting up Norwark. My local dealership is just not super helpful or knowledgeable about the 80 scene. Way back in 2009 I did a write up on the oil pump seal and front main but naturally did not include part numbers...

    Who are we ordering OEM parts from these days?

    Hi all, Long time member, but it's been awhile since I've been active on the forum. Back in my day (2006-2010ish) I used to get all my parts from CDan. Do we have someone that's a good parts guru with decent prices these days? I'm looking to replace the belts, crank seal, and oil pump gasket on...

    Look what wandered back into my life...

    Installed the $60 eBay snorkel(with shipping). Besides ignoring the supplied template due to well-documented wrong hole placements, the install went smooth! For the money, this can’t be beat. I’ve used Safari snorkels on a few rigs in the past and honestly the quality is on par with Safari...

    Look what wandered back into my life...

    I've busy on the ol 80 for the last few weeks. Did all the basic maintenance stuff like oil change, air filter, checked the diffs and transfercase, tranny, antifreeze (which was a gallon low). I noticed a low speed rumble that sounded suspicious, so a put it up on jack stands and sure enough...

    Look what wandered back into my life...

    I just picked up my old 1993 FZJ80 for my daughter. It’s been 7 years and 70,000 miles since I sold it.... Life has not been kind to the old 80. Now a reconstructed title, and several dents, dings, and weird noises to show for it. I originally purchased this thing from @smittycrusher in, I think...

    Builds BJ42 found in derelict barn

    Black smoke is over fueling typically. I'm not familiar with a 3B fuel pump, but my guess is your problem lies there. The other problems sound like ground issues due to the fiberglass tub. Great job so far! TK

    Builds A 13 Year Old and His Future '76 FJ40

    Looks like a great project!! I had a great time with my 15 year old daughter rebuilding the motor on her 2005 VW tdi Beetle. Gotta spend that quality time with them while we can! I HATE the complicated nature of VW tdi's and wish I would've made her get a Toyota. Oh well, she loves it and I get...
