    FJ62 KNOCKING AND WHINING (CV/ birfield, Alternator)

    So I recently went back up to the mountains, and on the drive up was able to hear the whining noise again. It is definitely not a roaring noise like a fan, all of my belts seem to be pretty tight and in spec. My only thought now is the alternator is going out since it only makes noise when on...

    FJ62 KNOCKING AND WHINING (CV/ birfield, Alternator)

    Thank you that's really good to know, I think I might take my cruiser into my local Toyota dealership for fluid changes since I don't want to deal with getting rid of it all, since most places only take oil. Ill have them check those at the same time.

    FJ62 KNOCKING AND WHINING (CV/ birfield, Alternator)

    I sprayed the leafs with water and it did end up making more noise and the same feeling I was getting, so super happy about that outcome. I hope thats all it ends up being. Thank you for the help!

    FJ62 KNOCKING AND WHINING (CV/ birfield, Alternator)

    I don't believe it is a roaring noise of a fan. If it were the alternator would it make the high pitched whine all the time? or if its just starting to go bad would it be periodically at higher RPM. I will see if I can listen closer to the noise today and report back. I also wasn"t aware the...

    FJ62 KNOCKING AND WHINING (CV/ birfield, Alternator)

    So recently my FJ62 has been making some new noises and wanted some opinons. I have ideas on what it could be after some research but am not sure. 1st Noise: On occasion when turning my wheels to the right side when reversing and sometimes going forward it will make one knocking noise, it...

    Were you ever able to go ahead with the swap and figure out what wires needed to be swapped to gain full advantage of the lights?

    FJ62 Cold start injector time switch advice

    Update: I have all the female connectors on and ready to go, next step is to put the sensors on the housing, thermostat, and then gasket between the upper and lower housing. Is it necessary to put anything on the threads of the sensors before putting them back in the housing? Waiting on a new...

    FJ62 Cold start injector time switch advice

    So as I find time I work on it bit by bit. One of the connectors does not have the wires attached to the connector, I'm not sure what to look up to find a video to see how to do it. If any one has advice on that it would be great. It has the wire, connector, and two metal pieces (brackets I want...

    FJ62 Cold start injector time switch advice

    Ok that worked really well, I got the senor off which is good. However the more I compare the top of my housing to those pictures, there is a lot of corrosion and pitting of the aluminum on mine. Not sure if it would effect the performance or structure of the housing since some of it is around...

    FJ62 Cold start injector time switch advice

    So I have started the process of replacing the sensors and I need to order a water temp switch now since the one I had the wire just slipped out. The cold start timer switch is very stuck and its a weird angle to use a wrench. Should I try heat or keep trying to use PB blaster to loosen the...

    August Club Meeting Reminder

    This will be my first meeting and I would like to attend, is it necessary for me to bring my Cruiser to the meeting? Not running to great right now and probably wouldn't be the best to drive. Looking forward to meet everyone though

    FJ62 Cold start injector time switch advice

    Awesome that makes my mind a lot more at ease. Im confident in replacing the sensor my main concern is converting the female plug from the old version to the new style, I haven't done a lot of electrical work before if there are any tips or things to look out for.

    FJ62 Cold start injector time switch advice

    My plan is now to do the conversion to the newer generation or cold start injector time switch, I found a kit from City Racer LLC with the female plug and one on Vintage Teq Parts. Is there any way of knowing which kit is going to be better than the other or more simple. Any video recommendation...

    FJ62 Cold start injector time switch advice

    Would you suggest doing the plug adapter swap or just find a used one with the old connector? I was planning to leave the housing on the engine rather than take it off, as long as i drain the coolant ill have pretty easy access to the plug.

    FJ62 Cold start injector time switch advice

    Thank you for the info. It would make sense to replace what I can while I have access. Would you suggest I reuse the coolant or put new coolant in?

    FJ62 Cold start injector time switch advice

    I am going to replace my Cold start injector time switch and most likely my water temp sensor while I'm at it. Would like some advice on how to do this though, because it looks to me like its connected directly to the coolant supply. How do I take these out without spilling coolant all over the...

    Another FJ62 Rough Idle Thread

    I had this same issue with my FJ62 just recently, it was hard to start, rpms were very inconsistent at idle and when driving, rpms would drop when I hit the gas, very rough idle, and overall not good to drive. Took it to a place near me in orange county, they also said it was my AFM (air flow...

    1988 FJ62 MAF Suggestions

    Hey guys so little update with the 62, I ended up finding an OEM AFM from Cruiserparts.com based in Florida I believe. Installed it and after a few minutes it worked flawlessly, fixed my random RPM issues and fixed the issue of RPM dropping when I press on the gas. I have been driving it to and...
