    ac pressure switch- low charge

    The cycling of the compressor says you are low on refrigerant. Check for leaks in the joints and rocks in the condenser.

    No heat in HDJ81 (80 Series)

    Take it off and inspect it - it is a very simple machine. However be careful - they tend to crumble when they are old.

    AC blowing warm air?

    You have a leak. Have him throw on the gauges again. There is a pressure sensor that disables the ac clutch when the pressure is low.

    No heat in HDJ81 (80 Series)

    If it is anything like my two Toyotas, the valve the cable goes into, the one inline with the heater hose, needs to be replaced. They are fairly cheap to buy. The valve was the same part on both of my vehicles.

    Locked key in 94 FJ80

    I offered the rear sliding window as a cautionary tale. I didn't look on the internet when I locked my keys in the truck. I found the method of ingress easily and by accident. It can be fixed and might be worth it if you are that worried. I didn't fix mine - so all reading, go for it...

    Locked key in 94 FJ80

    Not to tell how to break into these - but I would push on those sliding windows. Don't ask me how I know but if you stand on a rear tire you can reach the tailgate lock through one of those slider windows and the don't lock well.

    AC issues - low side high, hot air

    OK - I am embarrassed. I was going through the FSM and got to the step where I was to check the belt tension. It was difficult as the belt was missing. Not sure how I missed it when hooking up the gauges - but I went into my box of parts from American Toyota and there I had a brand new one...

    AC issues - low side high, hot air

    Will try all of these suggestions tonight.

    AC issues - low side high, hot air

    Thanks Mike - when I started it this morning it still blew hot so I don't think it is freezing up. Both high and low side is roughly the same temperature.

    AC issues - low side high, hot air

    Hmmm, that makes sense. It seems to degrade over maybe half an hour. I was shocked I hadn't sprung a leak.

    AC issues - low side high, hot air

    I was traveling with the family yesterday and about half an hour in the AC started going warm. Within half an hour we shut it down and opened the windows for the next 5 hours. Today I hooked what is left of my gauges up and found that the low side was at about 100 psi. I could not test...

    Anything else to try before replacing ECM? Help in northern New Mexico?

    Hey - This is just an outside chance. I just fixed a P0305 thanks to another member in the forum. The issue was that next to the connector for the ECM the wire loom passed through an opening in the frame of the dash. In my case it was the #5 injector wire which rubbed through the insulation...

    Engine flooding

    You nailed it. About 1 inch from the connector to the ECU was where the wire crossed the frame of the dash. Over time it wore the wire insulation and I could easily make a connection to the wear spot in the wire with my multimeter. The bundle of wires is jacketed in conduit - but it falls...

    Starter Issues after Rebuild

    Your starter contacts are shot and need replacement. This is probably the exact reason the OP rebuilt his starter when it was not broken.

    Engine flooding

    Yeah - I saw that. Buying a compressor gets a little expensive though. Still... I might get them.

    Engine flooding

    Good one, I'll check that. Yeah - the oil is probably toast. I don't have the means to do a leak down test, would a compression test do?

    Engine flooding

    I was about to begin a trip in the cruiser last weekend. We were about 15 minutes into the trip when my wife, who was driving, noticed power loss. I looked in the rear-view and saw a cloud of smoke. The check engine light came on and started flashing. We pulled it over, it was barely...
