    1984 FJ60 Doesn’t Crank at All

    So I finally stopped fixating on the wires under my dash and tried this. I used my 12 volt, 200 amp jump starter and attached the clamps like you stated. When I hit the switch nothing happened. I’m guessing this means that the most likely answer was the correct one and I have a bad starter.

    The switch I was referring to is right here. It seems like a factory hole. It goes to the black box pictured here. The push button switch goes through the hole on the right.

    1984 FJ60 Doesn’t Crank at All

    I’d ask the previous owner but I don’t have his contact info anymore. It’s been a few years since I’ve bought the truck. I never had to really mess with the switch and for the most part I forgot it was even there. I’ll trace the wire and see if I can find what he had it wired to.

    1984 FJ60 Doesn’t Crank at All

    I just pulled and checked my fusible links. One of them looks like it melted at one point. Any idea how to test these or is there something I should be looking for?

    1984 FJ60 Doesn’t Crank at All

    Thanks for the help! I’ll try this and see what happens. I should have some help in the morning to try jumping the starter. I checked the fuses in the dash but not the disable links. My battery terminals are new, tight, and clean. I’m worried that with these wires pulled out I won’t be able to...

    1984 FJ60 Doesn’t Crank at All

    I replaced the carburetor gaskets on my FJ60 today and afterwards I went to start the truck and this is happening. Underneath the dash the previous owner had some wires running to a push button switch and then to some kind of plug at the base of the steering column. I have them a slight tug...

    Inspecting a 1979 Toyota FJ40

    I have a good friend who is looking at buying a very low mileage 1979 FJ40. The current owner is listing it with about 28,000 miles and saying it’s in great condition. It was up on Ebay but has since come down so my buddy can go inspect and hopefully buy it. I own a FJ60 and I’m pretty...

    FJ60 Smoking Bad After Sitting for a Long Time

    Sounds like good advice. However, I think I’m at the point where I should just get the head off, get it checked for cracks and machined if necessary. It seems that I’ll wind up having to go down that road anyway. I’ve got another FJ60 owner that has been down this road about six times who has...

    FJ60 Smoking Bad After Sitting for a Long Time

    I refilled the coolant today and drove it around for 10-15 minutes. I already had drained the old fuel and replaced it with new fuel plus I stopped and added fifteen more fresh gallons today. After driving around my neighborhood I got home and the coolant reservoir tank was half empty. It was...

    FJ60 Smoking Bad After Sitting for a Long Time

    Furthermore the oil isn’t milky at all. If it was full of water my hydraulic lifters would be making all kinds of noise and they aren’t.

    FJ60 Smoking Bad After Sitting for a Long Time

    That’s a bold statement for an engine that has good power, starts fine, isn’t knocking, and just barely running rough when cold. Also, I have a ranch, 215 acres. So I could do that if I wanted, thanks. I added Marvel Mystery Oil to the fuel and the engine oil. I also changed the thermostat and...

    FJ60 Smoking Bad After Sitting for a Long Time

    Could the problem be the PCV valve if my truck has been desmogged? Right now I’ve just got an open spot with nothing there on top of the valve cover. Does it need to be plugged? Also I checked the coolant and it’s empty after just filling it up yesterday and only letting it idle. If I fix the...

    FJ60 Smoking Bad After Sitting for a Long Time

    After I get the thermostat installed I’ll drive it a little and check things out. Is there a way to check the head gasket? The first reply I got said that it was blown and not to drive it. Could it running rough have to do with that? Thanks for all the help everyone!

    Fuel Pump, Sending Unit, or Both?

    I put a new fuel pump on it and it started right up.

    FJ60 Smoking Bad After Sitting for a Long Time

    It ran ok but not great. It would die every once in a while and it was running rough. I’d say it hasn’t really been run is about five years. I have started it from time to time in their to let it idle but no road trips.

    FJ60 Smoking Bad After Sitting for a Long Time

    I have a 1984 FJ60 that day for a long time and now Lois out white smoke while running. We got it up to operating temperature and the thermostat seems to be stuck. Could that cause it to smoke like crazy? Here is a video of it driving for the first time in a long time. You can see the smoke as...

    Fuel Pump, Sending Unit, or Both?

    I havent started my FJ60 in a while due to needing to finish up some projects. I put a brand new Optima battery in it, drained and replaced the fuel, and a new fuel filter. I noticed that when I crank the engine its not sputtering or acting like its getting fuel and the fuel filter has zero fuel...

    FREE  4-Speed Out of 1985 FJ60

    I need space in my garage so I’m listing this as free with the hope that it goes fast. I got it from CruiserYard when I bought a transfer case. He said it worked but I haven’t tried it myself. I can meet anywhere on the north side of Houston or you are welcome to just come pick it up at my house.
