    How much for the ignition coil?

    Temporary loss of power

    Ok- so this problem seems to be getting worse. I am cleaning and checking all of my connections today, but I have found a few posts (and a few here) that point to the possibility of my ignition coil. So, assuming the connections are not the culprit (which they may be), how difficult is it to...

    Fuel issue / Stalling / Backfire

    Being a bit of a newbie, (still), how might I go about fiddling with the coil wire? After my nice 4 hour drive yesterday, it only took about 15 minutes before it was stalling and backfiring this morning- which is super fun driving down federal in Denver with my truck backfiring. I just...

    Fuel issue / Stalling / Backfire

    This weekend I drove my pretty well loaded 60 up mountain biking. After about an hour or so of driving, including some long climbs in 2nd and / or 3rd gear, my truck would momentarily stall out while going up a hill- the tach would zero out, and then sometimes if I popped the clutch would spin...

    Temporary loss of power

    As I was driving my 60 on the highway in 4th gear at about 55 mph in 90 degree temps, all of the gauges suddenly dropped to zero for a second as if I had turned the key off, the truck slowed for a second, and then the gauges went back to normal and the truck kept going. This has happened maybe...

    Battery Charge Light & Brake Light on while driving

    Thanks all- swapped out a new alternator and things seem to be happy now. I guess mine had an internal regulator- now I know. I suspect that my missing nut was to blame for the whole thing. When I pulled the old fried one, some of the wafer thin metal disc fell out of it, and when I took it to...

    Battery Charge Light & Brake Light on while driving

    If I switch to an internal regulated one, is there an external regulator that I need to remove?

    Battery Charge Light & Brake Light on while driving

    Kayak- By break light, I mean the Brake Light on the dash that usually indicates the parking brake is on, though it wasn't. The belt feels taught and straight, but that is on a cool motor, and I didn't use any tools or tensionometers to check it. I'll check the drive belt section. Thanks...

    Battery Charge Light & Brake Light on while driving

    My battery charge light and my brake light came on while driving. My volts are around 10.5V under no load but the motor- from what I have read, it seems like it is my alternator... which brings me to a few questions- 1. Any suggestions on reliable yet affordable alternators for an 84 FJ-60 2f...

    FJ60 Running Rough

    After reading a number of posts, I started looking at the EGR valve. Like most issues I have read about, I think that was something that was causing trouble, but not the whole issue. I am planning on pulling the EGR valve an cleaning it, but as a temp. solution I did the work around by...

    Another EGR valve question

    Yes, I am looking at taking the EGR valve off as well to clean it, and I would love some direction on this.

    Fuell Filter> Newbie Question

    I did install it with the arrows pointed correctly, and it is the F20002. All of the hoses and lines in this truck were replaced by the PO. These lines actually have a woven cover- not the old ganky rubber ones. I tossed in the new on and tightened it up with clamps- and everything seems to be...

    Cleaning an EGR Valve: need directions for a newbie

    I am driving an 84 FJ60- yes, my avatar is my rig.

    Fuell Filter> Newbie Question

    Ok- So I just ran down to my truck to snap a photo of the new filter. I remember it had these triangle shapped barbs on the end- When I bought it, I bought two since they were only like $4.50 each. So I ran down to my truck and couldn't find the one that I just installed- I bet it is sitting in...

    Fuell Filter> Newbie Question

    This is from PartsAmerica website- The one I got from the store looks slightly different in that it has arrow / barb type things on the ends of the nipples. I can run down to my truck (I am supposed to be working- did this over lunch...) and take a photo of the actual device and upload it.

    Fuell Filter> Newbie Question

    I would say they look the same. But when I put the fuel line on the new one it slides on fairly easily- only a lillte pressure required, but on the old one it took a little more wiggling back and forth. So, that will tell me not exactly. I looked all over for the specs on the new one, including...

    Cleaning an EGR Valve: need directions for a newbie

    After reading a bunch about the classic stumble problems, and with some sage advice from the PO who completely rebuilt this truck, it seems that I may have a sticking EGR valve, and that I should now remove and clean it. I have searched this forum, and seen many posts about cleaning the EGR...

    Fuell Filter> Newbie Question

    I replaced my fuel filter today with a Purolator f20002 filter- which Parts America listed as the correct filter for my 84 FJ60. After driving about 4 miles, I smelled gas, so I pulled over and discovered fuel coming out of the feeder line- When I installed it, I thought I was far easier to get...

    FJ60 Running Rough

    Yesterday after a day of driving normally, my 60 started running really rough. The idle dropped, and it feels like I don't have as much horsepower, especially in first gear. I filled that truck with gas, and the next time I drove it, the issue started. The motor used to sound relatively...

    Leaf Spring Question

    Cool. Thanks. So I should be getting a much beefier jack then. Thanks for the info. Must have been a wee bit sideways on tequila or something when I came up with the silly 2500 number.
