    My Continuous SMOG and Emissions Problems

    oh right. I tested the air injection system i.e. the air cleaner hoses. i have been running seafoam in the system periodically. which i hoped would keep it clean but maybe it just stirred up a lot of sediment. is there a particular carb spray that is recommended? I am going to get the timing...

    My Continuous SMOG and Emissions Problems

    cool. thanks for that. I do drive it a few times a month but that isn't enough apparently. I guess the first thing is to fix the timing, run it hot on the freeway and see how that helps and then go from there. the air intake seemed to be working although it wasn't very strong. this is my 10th...

    My Continuous SMOG and Emissions Problems

    ok, thanks as always. not sure how to test the system or all that is involved with that but I will look into it. as for the timing. it is at 12. will 7 make any difference with my numbers or is that a separate issue?

    My Continuous SMOG and Emissions Problems

    drove it for over 20 minutes before I took it in but i don't drive it often enough and it sat for a while until they got to it. . threw some good gas and sea foam in and drove it about 40 miles this week so that may be the issue. brand new air filter. no tune up before hand. the timing issue...

    Let's plan for a road trip/camping?

    extremely interested in salvaging this summer with some 3 day trips within a few hours of sacto. always good to have another rig along. I am actually thinking of hitting the road tomorrow -late notice-but any recommendations similar to Bowman road, sawmill lake and beyond. not a rock crawler...

    1987 FJ60 hood latch won't release.

    it is an other odd situation for sure. my new cable is working so I need to drill out the broken screw and get a new one in asap and all should be well. thanks for the advice!

    1987 FJ60 hood latch won't release.

    How does that work? the grill is bolted to the hood latch. I just replaced my hood cable and am reluctant to close the hood without being able to open it again if my replacement went wrong. I had to unbolt the latch to hook the cable up and as an added bonus i snapped one of the side bolts on...

    Side Cover Bolt sheared off

    cool. that helps a lot. not losing a ton of oil, just a bit more than it was before i got the bright idea to tighten the bolts. it is seeping but only in the one spot. i will test drive it this week and see how much i am losing before hitting the trail on monday. that particular bolt has so...

    Side Cover Bolt sheared off

    i don't think so but that is a good rec. it is pretty far in. i guess i will drive it this week and see how bad the leak is.

    Side Cover Bolt sheared off

    that makes it sting a little less. i was surprised how loose the bolts were so i thought i was doing something constructive rather tha destructive. I was planning on hitting some pretty rough road next week and now have to decide what the risk is. what is the torque on those btw? i dont even...

    Side Cover Bolt sheared off

    cool. duly noted. this is going to be a difficult fix and nixes a few camping trips as i doubt driving it is a good idea.
