    1996 TLC with trouble code P0305

    Thanks guys! Those pics are really helpful. The code I got was P0305. Looks like the problems are with #5 cylinder. Yesterday I replaced all the plugs (NGK V tip, not platinum). Then I drove about 30 miles after canceling the code. The code hasn't come back yet but the engine has some random...

    1996 TLC with trouble code P0305

    Hello folks, I was driving on hwy. Suddenly the engine felt pretty rough and at least one of the cylinders misfiring. I did not go where I planned to go and turned back home. Using my OBD II, I found the trouble code. Then I googled around on the web, some folks said it might be the issues with...

    spongy brakes after replacing the part of the brake lines

    Hi, I finally got the brake fixed, thanks to all the info that you guys provided. The 2-people way did not work before but it did now. I cannot explain why. I just followed what Pin-Head said. It feels like it will take time for the air bubbles to get together. You have to wait and it cannot...

    spongy brakes after replacing the part of the brake lines

    I took apart of the old MC. From what I have now, I don't see anything like a step, or a slot inside the MC body so it may damage the seals if I press the pedal all the way down. Instead, it's quite smooth and fine. So are the seals. The only bad thing that I saw is the opening at the end of the...

    spongy brakes after replacing the part of the brake lines

    Thanks again guys! The vacuum bleeder sold at HF is exactly what I've got. Lots of positive reviews on it. So I bought with a 20% off coupon. Frankly I don't like it. I have a Craftsman 30 gallon 5 HP compressor and powerful enough to drive the device, right? No. Still not enough vacuum to pull...

    spongy brakes after replacing the part of the brake lines

    I used an air compressor to hook up a vacuum bleeding device that I got from Harbor Freight. It did not work well at all. I kept the air pressure around 125 psi still not enough vacuum to suck the air out. I'm thinking of pressure bleed...

    spongy brakes after replacing the part of the brake lines

    It's hard for me to understand how the air could get back into the system. I pushed the rod against the pedal all the way down, then released the bleeder valve; then screwed it tight... I heard some people say that it's difficult to bleed a 1996 LC, did not believe it until now. Thanks.

    spongy brakes after replacing the part of the brake lines

    Thanks folks for replying. I finally replaced my MC the weekend just passed. Unfortunately it did not help after bench bleeding and 4-wheel bleeding. It was one-person method of bleeding. I used a long metal stick to press against the pedal and pushing the electrical seat forward before I...

    spongy brakes after replacing the part of the brake lines

    Thank you all for the valuable information. You're all correct that there was still air in the brake system. Especially the LSPV. But as I bled the 4 wheels. I did not top up the MC in time so I'd have to bleed the MC again. It's a PITA job. I've already tapped the thread of one of the ports...

    spongy brakes after replacing the part of the brake lines

    Thanks for your reply. 1) this is not the first time for me to do bench bleeding on the truck. I remember as I did last time, I put the MC on a vise and used a screwdriver to push the plunger all the way in but it seems it worked OK and no seal was broken. Maybe I was lucky. 2) No, I did not...

    spongy brakes after replacing the part of the brake lines

    Hi, Part of my 1996 LC's brake lines was leaking owing to some tiny rust holes (I guess I had moisture in the fluid). I replaced with a piece of flared tube. But the tube that I used is slightly longer than the original that I cut off. It's hard to have exactly the same length of it. Not sure...

    How to fix tear track or rust under the rear window of 96 Land Cruiser?

    Thanks to all you guys to write up those wonderful ideas. 1) I don't mind replacing the hatch with an used one. My worries are since it's going to be an used one, the same thing might happen. Because I witnessed a few LC trucks with the similar problems. I guess 93 should be the model year. I...

    Let me try sending the photo again. Sorry if the pic is too small. I am afraid I might have problems again sending it if it's big. Have a good one.

    How to fix tear track or rust under the rear window of 96 Land Cruiser?

    Thanks for replying. But as I tried to upload, I got message like below. Are those files too big so I got errors or something else? I'll try again using smaller pics. Anyway, the rust has eaten through the panel making a hole with the size of a nickel, located on the left hand side of the...

    Just trew P0401 om my new 96 LX-450

    Hi, I got the same code (actually more than one, P0141, beside 0401) and couldn't pass the insp. of NJ. I did not change any parts that were 0401 related, like EGR, VSV and Modulator, except for the rubber hoses. I did replace the oxy sensor (downstream), which made 0141 go away, about $35 at...

    How to fix tear track or rust under the rear window of 96 Land Cruiser?

    Thanks for your response. I'll upload the pics next later. If I weld another piece of the steel, it will rust again sooner or later, won't it? Thanks again.

    How to fix tear track or rust under the rear window of 96 Land Cruiser?

    Hi, I got a 1996 Land Cruiser. The window on the back door has some tear track, and it's getting worse and worse. I sanded it and patched up with filler a few times but it won't solve the problem. Now I have a big hole in it. I'm thinking cut off the piece of metal (I know it's High Tensile...

    Another rear window problem

    Hi, Sorry but no idea how to start a new post or thread. The problem that I have might not have much to do with the topic. I got a 1996 Land Cruiser. The window on the back door has some tear track, and it's getting worse and worse. I sanded it and patched up with filler a few times but it...

    exhaust manifold collector studs removal

    Hi folks, I know it's been over 6 months but somehow I am having an EXACT situation as mystican did. The broken stud I have is long enough to hold a nut but I had to tap the broken end of the stud. But I doubt it will last long. It's hard to find a nut with good strength as the original but as...
