Hate to bring up an old thread, but it's mine, so I don't feel so bad. Over the last year since this problem happened we have, as pointed out in previously, replaced all the injectors with new, I know we probably could have saved a boat load by rebuilding or such, but it's the wife's +...
Thanks Benjamin! Matter of fact, our cruiser is in Schertz as we speak. Bob of Foreign Affair is our mechanic. If you are ever in NB, look for the greenie and that'll be us (or my wife at least!).
I considered doing it myself, but as my wife likes to say...I have way to many projects and...
Doug,
97 FZJ80, 171K miles. We are the 3rd owner, first was a leasing company. 2nd was an officer in the USN and the cruiser spent a year in the UK where it appears to have gotten some quickly added front and rear fog lights and a switch stuck under the dash. (done at the customs?)
We got...
Just an update. We used our AMEX coverage for the tow and I was expecting a ~$30 charge. Ended up the entire $55 tow is free via AMEX -> Coachtech(sp?) -> Local tow company. That paid for the fee...at least this year.
Alrighty, it's #3. I pulled the plugs this morning and #3 came out wet, smelling of gas and really clean! I'm having it hauled in to our mechanic for $30. There is a consensus on what the problem is as our mechanic guessed the same thing.
I tried tapping the injector to no avail. I was...
Gonna hit the sack, looks like a long day tomorrow. Many thanks to Doug and Beno, you've been of immeasurable help!
A bit of reflection: I was supposed to be in Houston this week for my business, but I've been running a fever and am on antibiotics and decided to stay home. If I hadn't stayed...
I tried checking for the pump running with the ignition in ON, but either it isn't running or I can't hear it...which is very probable. We have low cover tonight and the sound from the Interstate is really carrying plus thunder and wind all around. To top it off, I have hearing damage from to...
Thanks both Beno and Doug. I've checked the fluids and nothing looks bad there. Oil a bit dirty, but due this month. Water looks good.
I have both the lc and house fire extinguishers outside in the driveway since I saw gas.
I did notice that the boot on #2 was loose, I pulled it up with...
When my wife came home this evening my daughter and I went out to greet her (we'd been playing in the sandbox) and the cruiser was missing and I noticed a bit of blue smoke when I told her to kill it.
After we got the daughter off to bed I went to investigate. On starting it feels like it's...
