    76 FJ40 Starts -- Stops Running When Ignition Is Released

    Absolutely CruiserMatt is right. The engine runs when it’s in the start position (cranking) because the coil is getting voltage from a slightly different circuit. When the key (ignition switch) is moved to the run position, the coil is fed through the ballast resistor. So it seems pretty...

    High Altitude Compensator

    For the gasoline guys…. I have a HAC in a ‘85 2F motor transplanted into my ’74 FJ-40, and drive my truck up Mount Lemmon (2500 - 8000’) regularly. My truck seems to run better & have more power above 5000’. It’s prettier amazing!

    Gauge cluster and idle circuit lose power intermittently…switch key off and on, it fires back up!

    I was thinking ignition switch, too. I think you can get the lock barrel away from the electronic part. First thing I would do is hit it with spray electric contact cleaner and work the switch in all positions. Disconnect your battery to save wear & tear on the starter! Rocky

    2F Oil Loss

    When my oil squirter fell out, it made horrible grinding sounds as it spun around against the timing gears and timing cover… You also have to be very careful (IIRC) in getting all the bolts in the right spots. There are some bolts if installed in the wrong spot can push the plate out, causing...

    Best Aftermarket headLights For Fj40

    They used to be in the $50 range…. Not sure why the price drop? Maybe it’s these economic stimulus packages? I can give one for next year’s White Elephant gift exchange!

    Best Aftermarket headLights For Fj40

    I would doubt it. My guess is your lights would be very bright for about 10 minutes… Although you may be able to buy 24 V bulbs and relays to fit in the light housings and the harnessing. Physically, they should fit

    easy place to put a cheap oil pressure guage on oem straight 6 engine

    This is an egregious use of both plastic tubing, and the word insegrevious! Good suggestion on the copper tubing… and I am not saying that just because I am from Arizona!

    Just ordered two sets from Desert Toyota ($16 each) of the Kiyoto lights. We’ll see what happens. They took my money, anyway. Rocky

    I hate the insegreviousness of the post above! Rocky

    easy place to put a cheap oil pressure guage on oem straight 6 engine

    Just get a Tee from your local Ace Hardware store and screw it into the same place that the stock sender is at.

    Solved: Confused - 1F running rough (and sometimes not at all)

    When the thing stops, go to your fuel tank and open the cap. If you hear a big sucking sound, you’re pulling a vacuum in the gas tank and you’re fuel system vent Ian working properly.

    25 Year Restoration

    At least you’ve got a big garage! I had good luck getting off undercoating with one of those heat gun things, like a hairdryer. They’re cheap at Hazard Fraught!

    83 FJ40, Oil Pan plug leaks

    Are you sure it’s coming from the drain plug? Mine sprung a leak from the spot welds on the skid plate…. Pretty messy…

    FJ40 what did I break??

    Are you sure the timing is set correctly if the distributor was loose? Can’t be sure about the engine’s status, as has been said. You can drop the oil pan and inspect bearings & journals… Pretty big job, but….
