    For Sale  1972 restorable FJ for sale.

    46mm socket to borrow in Cedar Park/Leander?

    I am trying to see if a friend's abandoned 40 series has a seized engine, but I need a 46mm socket to see if I can get the engine to turn. Anyone in The CP/L area have one I can borrow for a few hours? thanks

    rotate engine

    I got a '71 in my possession that used to be a friend of mine's (long story, he died, his widow was going to send it to a junkyard, I told her it was worth more than that). Basically, I wanted to see if the engine is seized, and if not, can I get it to start. The goal is to sell it for a fair...

    EGR test verification

    I posted this on a really thread, but no responses, so I thought maybe that was the thread was really stale, so sorry for the dupe: Testing myEGR valve... If I draw a vacuum on it with my mitey vac, it moves the diaphragm, but bleeds down immediately. So that seems like it's bad. Also, if I...

    Power brake booster?

    Lately, when I start my LX, the brake pedal is very hard and it's difficult to stop (basically, no power brakes). After a few seconds, the brakes feel fine. I replaced the hose from the intake to the brake booster thinking it must be leaking, but it's the same with the new hose (the hose needed...

    Cooling system doesn't hold pressure

    How much pressure should I expect the cooling system to hold? I borrowed a cooling system pressure tester and pumped the system up to about 15 psi and can't find any external leaks, but the pressure in the tester leaked down fairly quickly (maybe 1 psi/minute)? The only things I can think of...

    Oil pan bolt torque

    I'm re-sealing my upper oil pan.. Still getting it off, but I can't find torque values anywhere. I have seen 14in/lb, but that sounds like the lower bolts. I guess I need to by an FSM, but don't have time at the moment.

    Electrical Engineer question...

    I have an auxiliary fuse/relay tray I've made for my '97 LX. I added it to have a clean place to do any extra wiring. That way, I have easily accessible fuses for add-on circuits for things like, underhood lights, backup lights, fogs, and I also have cornering lights. The way the...

    I'm planning on resealing the oil pan on my '97 LX starting this afternoon, I've searched for a good writeup, but haven't found one, but based on what I've read, I need to extend the front suspension. I bought bigger jackstands so I can lift the frame up and get the front suspension extended...

    What is the 8 wire plug in the right rear tail light compartment? I was replacing my broken trailer wiring converter box and saw that. There is also a clear hose back there, but it's not the rear washer.

    dragging break

    I have a strange issue on my LX (305k miles) the left front break is dragging. I know this because it wore out the pads on that size, twice as fast as the right, it also has a bunch of brake dust on the left wheel, but not the right. I also used an IR thermometer and when I got back from a...

    Minor emergency

    I was doing some of the off road trails in big bend and had a front sway bar bushing disintegrate, so the say bar is rattling like crazy. (Not surprising after 300k miles. I should have replaced the darn things any way) The question is, do I ignore the rattle until I get home, make a bushing...
