    Also is there a way to change the name of this thread. I intend to keep all my posts regarding this truck here, as a build thread of of sorts, and would like to change the title to reflect that (I reckon the new member introduction title filters folks, and my dumbass could use all the helpful...

    More wiring hackery found, some of it addressed. Truck is staying running now, starts right away, though it occasionally it idles a bit too low. I should revisit the IAS stuff again. Time to start sorting the suspension. Suggestions on where I can get all the rubber suspension bits? Not...

    Checked the wiring as @diesellibrarian suggested and now we have power back to the pump (even though I didn't fix anything...) Checking voltage to the pump via the exterior access panel (driverside quarter panel rust hole) I'm seeing 8v at startup and when the throttle is brought up off idle it...

    Couldn't get continuity through the diagnostic port under the hood.

    At the connector (either side of it).

    Yep we don't have power there. Seems to be dead somewhere up front. I need to try and get a wiring diagram and see if I can trace the circuit to find where the short is.

    Well we got the old fuel pump out and replaced it with a new one. Haven't figured out why we don't have power back to it yet but we were able to use a jump pack to run the pump and start it up. Wanted idle around 2000 RPM. So we pulled the idle air control valve off, took it apart, manually...

    Yeah I am. The plan, once I get the tank dropped, is to dump some distilled vinegar, nuts and bolts into it, seal it back up, and then shake it it around until my arms give out. Worked well in the past for my old motorcycle projects. Just going to be a lot more work here.

    Unfortunately it was my six point that did the rounding. There's just a lot of corrosion in that area of this truck. If I had room to hammer on a smaller SAE socket I would have. If the event was in Oregon and shorter distance I bet it was a gambler 500 rally they did. Those are pretty popular...

    Thanks for the info on the vacuum filter. I can probably repair it with a bit of g flex epoxy, but it's good to know that it's not critical even if I can't. I'd be real surprised if I can hear the whistle over the rest of the road noise this thing is going to have. The rusty leaf spring squeaks...

    Went and picked this old 88 FJ62 up the other day with my brother. Plan is to use it for our next lemons rally vehicle. She's far from mint but not the crustiest vehicle I've owned or driven across continent. So far we've diagnosed that the fuel pump doesn't work and that we don't have...
