My son needs this sold NOW, so we've drastically cut the price to $3,900 ... from $5,700!
Purchased on 9 April 2005 with 261,775 miles. H55F (Aussie 5-speed) transmission installed June 2005 with 262,xxx miles. Drove the FJ60 in July 2005 from Seattle...
Finally found the problem!!!
It took a lot of head-scratching, numerous distributor and carb swaps but I finally figured out why my new engine would not rev above 1,800 RPM.
After being totally frustrated after the last distributor swap, I decided to check out the hissing sound coming from...
The PS pump bracket has a vertical slot on the back bolt, so all you have to do is loosen it enough to break its grip and remove the front two bolts - it should lift out straight up with the rear bolt still in the pump and just clearing the exhaust manifold.
I've just gone through the reverse...
Okay, got some pictures:
The DUI distributor - vacuum advance coming from one of two ports on the carburetor base:
The carburetor - it only has one diaphragm requiring outside vacuum:
Base of the carburetor - one port going to the diaphragm on the carb, the other heading to the...
John,
I'll post some photos in a couple of hours (battery died on my cellphone and it's the only digital camera in the house right now).
For an update, I switched the distributor last night with the original Toyota distributor and had the same results - limited upper revs. It was also...
John, Thanks for your input! My question back to you is that if I am off one tooth on the distributor, can't I compensate for that error by spinning the distributor body to line it up? I have nearly 180 degrees of rotation with the distributor body and have swung it every 30 degrees to check...
Hello All!
After sitting 2 years in the driveway, I've just completed the engine replacement in my FJ60 with a 2F engine from a dearly departed FJ55. The new engine came with an early carburetor (F?) and a DUI distributor. I installed those and desmoged the FJ60 in the switchover.
My...
I hope someone in Southern California is available to help ... my son in the Marine Corps has been using our FJ60 while based at Camp Pendleton. On a trip to the Salton Sea this weekend, it overheated several times and it now appears the engine is shot. It is now 6 miles south of Salton City...
Thanks to everyone for their replies!
First off, thanks for the kind words regarding my son. He's a Lance Corporal in the Marine Corps training to be a crew chief on medium lift helicopters. He's doing exactly what he wants to do, is getting excellent training and learning a deep respect...
I just drove from Seattle to Southern California where I delivered our FJ60 to our son at Camp Pendleton. Going over the Siskiyou Pass in Oregon and Tejon Pass in California, I was able to maintain only 35 MPH as I climbed the passes (had to go to 3rd gear above 3,000 ft elevation). The...
262,700 miles on original engine and drive train. Bought for my son in the USMC - was a California FJ-60 and soon will be returning there to try the back roads at Camp Pendleton.
Try what I did ... our FJ-60 had no rear speakers or cutouts in the rear panels. There were some speaker wires under the rear seats, so I routed them to the back panels with extra speaker wire and attached two computer speakers that were sitting around unused. Some velco attached to the sides...
