I would, seriously consider pulling the intake plenum off & looking at the harness, where it runs along the fuel rail.
I went through much of what you are doing, thinking it may be the harness, and HOPING I wouldn't have to pull the intake apart.
I ended up spending WAAAAYYY more money and...
Are the ports oriented the same as the FJ80 / ABS FZJ80 -- Inverted - F port = rear brakes, R port = front brakes
Did you have to modify the hard lines off of the Master Cylinder to fit this one?
I've thought about the T100 Master, but read somewhere that the large diameter = more volume but less pressure and I hadn't found anything in terms of real feedback on how that works & what it takes to set it up.
Like I said, my 80 is my only vehicle at the moment. Now, family is relatively...
OK, 'Mud community, I've searched & read for the last few YEARS and still haven't come to a real conclusion on this.
Hopefully somebody here can FINALLYclear some of this up.
I have a 1991 3FE FJ80 (Disc/Drum brakes, w/o ABS)
However, I have a Full Float disc brake E-Locked rear axle, from a...
I went through similar issues with my 91.
Intermittently, it would just fall on it's face when coming to a stop, then trying to take off again. I would limp it to the shoulder, but it would rev just fine in Neutral. Pop it back in gear & it wouldn't rev over 1200 RPM.
Then, suddenly, it'd...
Although, I was curious, when you machined that angle into the exhaust manifolds, was there enough slop in the bolt holes; or did you have to enlarge/angle those as well.
Might be something to keep an eye on, for potential premature exhaust leaks down the road.
I'm really curious to know how your visit with the referee goes.
From what I've heard recently, they've pretty much put the kabosh on ANY swaps here in CA, by ridiculous requirements; even the E-Rod package.
Again, no first hand knowledge, but REPUTABLE industry folks, including our own...
I know I'm a couple of months late to this party, but SMOG is no problem. Just clear the CEL & take it in. If it passes the sniffer (which shouldn't be an issue unless you've got major problems; the limits on the 3FE are SOOOO high), you're golden.
To clear the codes, pop the EFI relay...
Check your local classified advertisements (Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, newspaper, etc) and often you can find some old car guy who has a collection of the R12 cans. Get yourself some of those & a few basic tools (the gauge set can often be found in a local pawn shop, if you don't know...
I'd be willing to bet that it's likely a spare piece either tucked away, or accidentally dropped by the previous owner.
If you notice, the end doesn't seem to have the tell tale imprint from a hose clamp that would typically be present when a hose has been installed for some length of time (and...
@LandCruiserPhil since you're having supply issues, have you considered offering this as an "install kit" minus the actual fan, rather than as a "complete kit" (or offer both)? That way, individuals could source their own fan (ie salvage yard or local C/L 100 series part out).
Just a thought...
So, are those limit swirches internal to the lock motor?
What I'm trying to figure out is, if the CDL was in a locked position when the lock motor was installed, does the position of the lock motor (locked vs unlocked) matter? Does the lock/unlock need to be "timed" between the motor assembly...
Bueller, Bueller, Anyone, Bueller....
Can anyone weigh in with some answers to help me understand HOW the CDL motor works?
My questions are -
1) Is the CDL motor a pwr locked/no pwr unlocked configuration? Or is it pos/neg LOCK - neg/pos UNLOCK? (ie polarity reversal to change lock vs unlock)...
It doesn't seem to hum if/when the manual switch is cycled.
To me, it seems as though it's stuck in the auto mode (ie when the T/C is shifted into low) and forced into lock mode.
I did unplug the connector on the rear output (next to the neutral switch), which should be what forces the auto...
To clarify a couple of things, before we go down that rabbit hole -
YES, I have searched. For several days. So no need to chastise me for being lazy. I'm here, asking fellow Cruiser guys & gals if they have any ideas for me. So, as the old adage goes, "If ya ain't got nothing nice (or...
Last weekend, I grenaded my T/C (91 FJ80). I got a good take out from a local guy that parts out FJ80's, but he kept the CDL motor, so I swapped mine over.
Because I knew it was in a locked state when I pulled the old one out, I rolled the gear on the replacement T/C into the locked position...
I had a similar issue & it turned out to be a plugged up radiator. After replacing it, out of curiosity, I broke open the old one and out came a horrendous amount of rust & scale and what looked like sand.
I also had issues with the temp redlining when idling with the a/c on in 90°+ heat.
I...
