    Sluggish acceleration Please Please advise.

    Very observant. Your symptom's (pre fix) certainly do mimic mine pretty much exactly. Even our RPM where the flat acceleration goes away is the same. VSV huh? well, I don't even know what that is but I have a shop manual and the internet so I'll do some research and come back with some...

    Sluggish acceleration Please Please advise.

    thanks, but no that's not it. That wouldn't account for the transition from poor to good acceleration at ~2300 rpm. It's like a big sock is stuck in the intake and then it gets pulled out around 2300 and the thing pulls strong.

    Sluggish acceleration Please Please advise.

    The response is fine, it just accelerates way too slow until it gets some revs in it. Then it "kicks in" and pulls strongly. I use cheap, 87 octane gas and I always have. No audible knocking or pinging. Although it is the kind of performance drop you would expect from timing that is too...

    Sluggish acceleration Please Please advise.

    I have a well maintained 92 Landcruiser. Under light acceleration it is very very sluggish. More sluggish than is normal for the ~150hp motor. It accelerates very smoothly (no missing, backfiring or stumbling) , but slowly until the RPMs get up to 2300 or so then it comes to life and...

    No Idle Increase with A/C on

    Good Morning all. I have a 92 cruiser with 200K on it and everything works great. It is well maintained and is my wife's daily driver. She recently reported that it is idling too slow. I checked it and it is just under 600 rpm, which is a little slow. I also noticed that when the A/C is...

    leaky sun roof, wife is mad

    I posted first then I searched. Doh. There's plenty of info out there for me, (about the sun roof that is, the "mad wife" I'm afraid I'm on my own). If she wins, I'll post the cruiser here first for sale! Thanks, Bill

    leaky sun roof, wife is mad

    Hello all, The sun roof (electric, sliding) in our trusty 92 FJ80 has started suddenly to leak. I assume I should just replace the big rubber seal around the thing, yes? Is there something else I should try first? Thanks in advance, my wife is freakin out and is starting her "I...

    Large Fluctuations in Idle

    Thank you all Thanks for you time and effort. You all have steered me in the right direction. I ordered a shop manual for the truck (Ebay, $50!). I'll dig into the truck in a week or so. I'll focus on the IAC and go from there. There's no substitute for experience and I appreciate...

    Large Fluctuations in Idle

    Yesterday I got home from work and my wife relayed a problem she had with her 92 LandCruiser (180K miles). Upon starting the warm engine, the idle began rapidly fluctuating between approximately 1000 and 3000 rpm. It was enough to scare her into turning the car off. She started the rig...

    The hood release cable on my wife cruiser has become ineffective. It has failed somewhere in the hood latch and I can't get to it. How do I get the hood open????

    92 Intermittent No Start. Advice

    Yeah, I'll check them. Best to check the easy part before I go off on elusive, half cocked theory about the alarm cut-out. But man they look freakin new. A bad connection though would give the symptoms I describe.
