well i pulled my pan this weekend ...... found the rod bearing on cyl 5 has spun into itself and overlapped in 4 places basically interconnecting ... cyl 6 is also loose but not as bad I have not pulled the cap on it yet. I pulled the oil pump it looks good except for some scoring at the bottom...
it smokes only at startup once it warms up its fine . and yes its a 11/91 3fe . and speaking of pushrods i had one about a month ago that i had to go in and adjust them because the screw had backed itself out and with the valve cover off and engine running the pushrod was never touching the...

Well I want to say thank you for the help and tip on the afm marco.i found a wire had pushed out of the connector but was still making contact because of the plastic/ rubber wire cover holding it in place . When I wiggled the harness my truck cut off.I cut off the cover and found the wire, I...
my 92 fj80 has been cutting off on me in traffic when i am stopped . I have recently changed my TPS because it was cutting off and threw a code for it. Now its doing it again but no codes. It only does it in gear or neutral that i am aware of, when i am in park it will idle all day long . I have...
I am leaning towards the tps being changed but I was curious just in case someone says something like " oh when u desmog hook up this and this vacuum hose" . or "check this wire because it comes loose' ect
Two days ago I had an issue where the truck shut down while sitting in walmart parking lot . It would crank and start but die instantly, acting like it possibly had bad gas since I had just added gas at a station maybe 3 miles up the road . After a few minutes of trying it started. I got backed...
Also with the vacuum lines do i need to keep any of them ? There are some on the throttle body and the air cleaner . Do any need to be routed differently for better performance, or just cap em all off . having asked that can I completely remove the hard line bracket on the intake that had the...

thank you for all the help. I figured out that yes it was the 2 bare wires I found by the starter and thanks to the ewd I ended up making a new connector with a deutsch connector kit. Now have a working cruise control, which I have not had since I bought the truck . Thank you again, now I can...
Also the 2 bare wires I found above the starter, in the engine bay, at the firewall are a yellow wire and a what looks to be a red with silver stripe wire they seem to come up from the transmission area but i could be wrong . Oh how I wish I still worked at toyota and had access to the ewd , but...
i have a 92 fj80 with the 3f-e engine and the a440f transmission ( i assume) . On the drivers side of the transmission there is a sensor and a long wire thats just hanging down from it. For the life of me i can not find out what sensor this is and where it goes. i have no driving or shifting...
