GTS,
I have been focused on the glow - Crushers and I tested all the plugs and timing for those, helped a little but its not the issue.
I will start working through the fuel line hoses and clamps and give the primer a few pumps this morning to see if that makes a difference.
Thx.
Joey,
Yep - replaced fuel filter and the float sensor unit below it. I have done most of the easy stuff, and some not so easy. Replace coolant and air temp sensors, replaced cold start capacitors on the ECU, new glow plugs (twice), rebuilt injectors. So the crankshaft sensor is next. Thx
I have a very nice lj78 that runs great except for the first 10-15 seconds that you start it after sitting for more than 4 hours. For those 10-15 seconds it coughs and farts grey/black smoke, then levels out, runs and starts awesome all day long after that.
Anyways, working my way through...
Looks fantastic. ToyWorks did a 2.5" SS straight pipe and didn't go out around the frame, instead straight down and out. Its not as clean as yours and its loud, but sounds great and runs much better. Can you post a video with it running?
Hello all,
I have a 1992 LJ78 which has always ran fantastic. Now I have developed a rough and smoky cold start that last about 20-30 seconds and it looks like it may be my ECU.
Does anyone have a functioning Toyota 89661-60151 ECU for sale? Need a secondary before I attempt to repair original...
I just installed the Dob's 45mm springs. Stayed with the shocks I had and didn't change anything else. Drive's great. Also installed the Dob steering stabilizer. I would just go with the matching dob shocks and keep it complete.
Actually I'm going to do an engine oil cooler first. More direct contact with the parts I'm lookin to keep cool. Tranny cooler after most likely to help with the towing. Id be interested in the part number if its easy to find thanks.
just wanted to add - coming up to 200 000km and she runs great. (the 3l head was done at 75 000) For those that have had back luck with the Prado LJ78. :)
looking to add an oil cooler to my 92 LJ78 and wanted to see if anyone with the same truck has added one? Where did u run the lines and mount, etc?
Thx.
