Well, kind of. Like I said my start battery is weak, but also my house(2nd) is getting old as well. I have found that if I completely isolate the 2nd battery from getting power while cranking the engine then I never have any weird noise or CEL. The start battery by itself cranks slowly but...
So it looks like my start battery may be junk. It was only at 12.2v before cranking and dropped to 10 volts before she started up. Like I said it is a crap Walmart battery that I think is only about 4 months old. I just picked up right before a trip because I needed something quick but figured...
I understand what you are saying but what I did equates to the same test. By measuring the resistance of the wiring harness from ecm plug to the distributor plug and eliminating that as having any issues then testing those same pins at the distributor instead of the other end of the harness and...
I am speaking about the wires directly. I disconnected the plug from the distributor as well as the ecu and just measured the resistance of the wires to make sure the conductors from the ECM to the distributor were good. And they all ohmed out at less than 1ohm of resistance. I did not take...
It is intermittent. But has been slowly getting worse over the last 3 months or so. Mostly does it when the truck is cold, doesn't usually do it once the truck is warm but has started to occasionally also do it while warm.
Hmm. I have a dual battery system that the 2nd battery is a dual purpose battery but I suppose that could be an issue. My start battery isn't that old either but it is a Walmart battery and I've found them to mostly be trash.
So my 93 270k mile 1fz is giving me an issue I haven't had much luck identifying or finding much similar info on the forums. I have gone through the troubleshooting steps in the fsm to the best of my knowledge and still no resolve. so occasionally when I am cranking the engine it almost sounds...
Great write up. Thanks. I believe the issue with mine is the speed sensor that it looks like may have been the one you damaged. I don't suppose there was any part numbers on that sensor so that could be purchased seperately so I wouldn't have to buy a whole distributor for one failing component?
As long as you have an extra vehicle I feel it takes most of the concerns away about keeping a 30 old cars on the road. If something needs replacing you simply park the cruiser and wait for parts while driving your backup vehicle around. I always preferred driving older vehicles and it would...
I've done a few creek crossings and one lake crossing and always checked the diff oil afterwards and it looked good. But I never thought to check the actuator internals. I do intend on extending the breather on it when I fix/replace it.
So I replaced the rear diff lock actuator a little over 2 years ago after the magnets came loose from the motor and some how grenaded into a million pieces. I replaced it with a brand new aisin actuator. After that it worked good for a about a year, then it worked but shower and not as quickly...
