3fe

I've tried searching but I cant nail down a definite answer to my problem. I'd like to get some opinions before I just start replacing parts... While driving at night my voltage will drop to a little over halfway (on voltmeter) then pick back up to the mark before the uppermost mark. This...

No affiliation. MUD member dieselcruiserhead is the contact. I like it, though the interior looks like it needs a bit more work. Modernized 1970 FJ55 - Andre Shoumatoff

Hi Everyone, I'm new to this forum so forgive me if I have posted something already covered. I could not find exactly the same scenarios as my troubles. I was driving down the highway at 65mph, when instantly I lost power. From that point forward, it sputtered and ran horribly. I could hear...

I just finished replacing the power steering pump. What a pain in the butt. In case anyone cares, you have to remove the PS pulley before you remove the pump, there's simply no way around it. Anyway, I got it replaced and put everything back together, threaded the belt back on, and started it...

So.......... started right , up idled fine , went bout 30 ft and just died . getting fuel , no spark , threw a new coil in cause it was cheap , close to work , so figured i'd try quick fix...nothing not even a fart......so i've pounded the threads and pretty much have a plan on checking the rest...

Fellas - Fishing for some advice here regarding my 1992 FJ80. A few weeks back I found myself at a red light in the far right lane that ended right after the intersection. I suppose I could have put my blinker on and politely asked someone to let me in, but instead I drag raced everyone when...

I have another thread on a sludge issue that I have with my 3fe . Then I found out it had coolant leaking from the valve seat . I was trying to figure this all out . If the valve seat is leaking coolant doesn't that mean that the cylinder below it should be full of coolant ? I don't quite...

I have a leak in the high pressure power steering line on my 1991 FJ80. I have it disconnected from the pump and the power steering box and I removed the three brackets holding it to frame. The skid plate is out. I'm stuck trying to pull the line out. It looks like it needs to pivot down...

For desmogging a 3FE this aluminum plate is used to cover the opening in the intake manifold. The drain plug has the correct threading to securely screw into the exhaust manifold where the EGR had been plugged in. The allen headed drain plug comes with a copper crush washer. $30+ shipping...

I have been trying to diagnose the water leak under my dash for the last couple of weeks as it has been raining the most socal has seen in years. I have searched and found countless threads talking about clogged sunroof drains and leaky windshields. I have a 91 without a sunroof and my...

I recently developed a gnarly under-hood rattle when my 91 is put into drive or reverse. I was able to get under the hood with my kid standing on the brake and observed the alternator shaking like crazy. I pulled the fan and WP pulley and tightened every bolt that even had the appearance of...

my wife and I are getting ready for a road trip in the 91. We are headed to Colorado for a few weeks right after Christmas. I have been doing a lot of research and as much PM as I can before we leave. Something that people keel telling me is I NEED to make sure my coolant is winterized. My...

Hello everyone, sorry if this has been posted previously, I couldn't find anything similar searching. I'm in the middle of a 3FE rebuild, but can't source a composite cam gear for less than $200. I already had a brand new set of steel 2F timing gears, would I be able to use them in my 3FE? I...

I'm having a hard time with this one- where is the fuel pressure regulator located on the 3FE? Also, what part can I replace it with? I read someone suggested Intermotor's FPR.

Finally changing plugs/wires/disty/rotor. Partly because I've been driving the truck for two years without doing it and I have no idea when/if the PO ever did it, partly because she's running a bit uneven, and partly as prep and "rehearsal" for an overdue valve adjustment. This post is...

Hello, Pulled out of the driveway the other day, and made it 100 yards before the engine cut off and would not start again. Checked the codes, got "No NE/G signal". Was getting no spark, so I followed the " EFI woe and strife" troubleshooter I have seen on here. Found that one of the...

Hello all, What started as a blown head gasket turned into a full engine rebuild, and needless to say, I caught the "while I'm in there..." bug. I'm replacing nearly everything that's inside the engine, but I'm unsure of what I should replace on the exterior. Currently, my list includes: motor...

I am in the middle of replacing my center console and am going to have my CB wired up inside. I found this connector underneath with nothing plugged in. I've seen a few threads with the fzj that has multiple unused plugs underneath but I have a 91 3fe. Anyone know what this goes to? I don't...

I have searched this fairly well, but the unique symptoms of this situation mean I can't just go off the situations of others to narrow mine down. Last week I was moving the cruiser from the driveway and it cranked over normally once and then completely died, no key buzzer, no power locks, the...
