    Intermittent Brake light in dash

    Im hesitant to say that it did, but after adding fluid I didn’t experience the intermittent brake light. Keep in mind this only occurred on very cold mornings and only a few times a month despite driving it everyday. Not long after this initial thread I parked the truck for a month, while parked...

    94 1fzfe Starter problems

    Interesting. I’m more of a buy a part then return core at later date (if ever) type guy. I’ve never returned a core in an oem box. Sometimes in plastic bags 🙃 I guess I’m that guy

    94 1fzfe Starter problems

    Thanks for everyone’s help! I picked up an oem unit from Toyota on my way home tonight. Put it in and the truck cranks and starts better than ever! Side note, I was at the parts desk at Toyota, guy brings me the part in the oem toyota/Lexus part box. Taped up and all. I pass him the core and...

    94 1fzfe Starter problems

    After taking the old unit back out, the beveling doesn’t seem as uniform as I remembered. Notice the picture of me pulling the shaft with my fingers, this took a decent effort to pull while keeping grip and the shaft would snap back. The splines look great and the ring I’m pinching is the...

    94 1fzfe Starter problems

    Thanks, I’ll take some pictures of the old unit tomorrow when I take it back out. I think the problem is pretty clear now that I better understand it. It also appears mine isn’t oem based off the pictures you’ve posted and diagrams of the oem unit. I look forward to replacing with an oem...

    94 1fzfe Starter problems

    Thank you. I think you’ve solved my issue. My shaft and gear are not locked together. I didn’t and won’t try it, but I’m sure I could hold the gear in my fingers while it’s in the housing and jump the starter and the shaft would extend while spinning. While I had the starter out, I did notice a...

    94 1fzfe Starter problems

    I was surprised on the cleanliness of the starter gears and mounting surface. I did find a dry substance within the housing amongst the contacts. The teeth on the starter gears are all there, but do have beveling on them. The beveling is pretty uniform so I’m assuming that’s part of the design...

    94 1fzfe Starter problems

    The shaft slowly extends from the unit while the shaft spins fast, while bench testing. I could pull the shaft out pretty easily. The pinion gear was not fastened to the shaft, meaning I could pull the shaft out with my fingers while the gear stayed in the starter housing. However I could pull...

    94 1fzfe Starter problems

    I drive my 80 all the time, it’s never shown any signs of a failing starter. I started yesterday, drove 10 miles and stopped for a coffee. Come out 3-4 minutes later and my LC wouldnt start. Tried tapping on the starter with no success. The starter spins when you turn the key but doesn’t seem to...

    What’s everyone driving when you leave your LC home?

    These are too cool. Are those pictures taken on German landscapes or have you taken them on long trips?

    Absolutely! I’m a member/ex user of several other vehicle forums and none of them hold a candle to MUD in terms of knowledge and experience!

    My build date is 11/94 so maybe they had already switched over to the newer pans? I do have pair valve. I know very little about the history of my LC, I’ve owned it for a year but really only started looking into it this past Nov/Dec. any other features or signs to tell if motor has been swapped?

    What is this? 1fz

    Thanks! Is the sensor in the block or pan?Interesting if they had the port for the sensor on pre obdII blocks, or pans for that matter. Unless the 1fzfe was obdII in other markets prior to US?

    What is this? 1fz

    94 1fzfe Is my crank sensor missing or what? Truck runs and drives perfectly fine. Are there instances or model years where the crank sensor was omitted or in a different location?

    Maybe behind oil pump pulley not crank?

    What is this? 1fz

    Don’t mind the oil leak. This is directly behind crank pulley, what would go here? Is it a blank for an option? Am I missing something?

    Intermittent Brake light in dash

    Circling back, I added brake fluid back to Max line in reservoir and haven’t had the intermittent brake light since. Will continue to monitor. Thanks!
