cold

Had the diesel Land Cruiser in this a case a KZJ78 have a no start after sitting out in cold yesterday at work. Average temp was 5 degrees F. I am not surprised it didn't start, but I am also seeing in this forum that people are starting down in the negatives. I understand there are several...

Hi team, I've searched and not been able to find any similar threads. The scenario is: 1995 1hz N/A, 625,000KM. When cold, and under load there is a hesitation or slight splutter midway to higher through the revs in first and second gear. I've mainly only noticed it when cold. This has done it...

Seen a lot of posts in the last month or so about how to prep your 70 series for life outside in the cold. I’ve had a BJ71 in Fairbanks, AK, as a daily driver. My Ute was my daily driver in the banana belt here in Anchorage. Due to my current job the Ute spends its days in the warm garage...

I posted this in the 80 Series earliey mistake as the issue was similar when I searched my problem. - that link is below if needed. However here is the timeline of events. Friday -washed truck ( touchless drive through ) then drove truck 75 miles from 8F to ski mountain where overnight temps...

EDIT: Thank you everyone for the great advice! So, I tried looking for something that would answer my question, but I came up short. Two days ago I drove my '97...no problem. That night it dropped to 8 degrees (F) overall in Vancouver, WA and 6 degrees (f) at my place (I lve in a small valley...

With the massive cold wave affecting the States this weekend, I was wanting to see if anybody had any odd things happen with their 200 series. 2016 LC. Current temp was -3F, and I went to fire up the cruiser and it had a really hard time turning over (very slow crank), but it eventually did...

Hi, Besides the usual ,set your heat pumps at home to emergency heat,below 30 degrees they don’t work well Pulling heat from outside.

I'm a big fan of AHC and have always maintained the system myself on my lX470 and now LX570 vehicles. Today, I had my first real hiccup in my AHC history and it made me wonder a bit about the chemistry of AHC fluid and the rubber (is it rubber?) membranes in our AHC globes. It's getting a bit...

So when I go to start Lexi, especially when it's cold, I might get a short grinding noise, and the starter will just spin. I let off the starter of course and usually the second (or third time yesterday) it will engage and start. Is it serviceable?

I started having this issue with my '01 LX recently. In the morning after sitting all night in colder weather ("cold" for Texas, 35-45 degrees) my LX will start but it has a habit now of having a delay between crank and the engine firing up. When I turn the key from the truck being off, the RPMs...

2000 100 series will not start on cold mornings when left overnight. I’ve got a new powerful battery, starter sounds strong, but vehicle won’t turn over. Somehow found out that if I rock truck or roll truck in neutral across rough ground, it will start and run rich for a bit then everything goes...

1991 FJ80 restoration project -- when the ambient temperature is above the high 20s or low 30s, or if I let the vehicle warm up thoroughly, the brakes work great. Below the mid 20s and if the engine is cold, the brakes do not work at all. Hard pedal at the right height, just no stopping power...

Hey guys, So I live in Florida and my temperature gauge always warms up in what I believe to be a normal range. I’m traveling up in the northern states atm where the temperatures are around 32f (0c) to 40f (4c). And my temperature gauge will barely rise driving around town unless I hop on the...

i saw all the 80 series posts on this, but none for the 100. i recently drove my texas truck to the mountains and left it in a driveway for a few days in the 20 degree weather (with mild snowfall). when it was time to leave, i started it up and started to scrape off the ice on my windshield...

I have this cool and unique Factory 40-series cold weather radiator flap that came on my 1984 BJ42. Only removing it because I need the space for an intercooler. It comes with the mounting brackets and the little tab to guide the pull cable. Asking $200 plus shipping from Cincinnati, OH...

Hey guys, my FJ 62 has a real tough coldstart problem very low rpm will not stay running on a cold start anything colder than 40° out if I touch the gas, it chokes out and dies once it warms up after about five minutes it runs beautifully until it gets cold again and then it has the same issue...

Calling all gurus, I have a '94 FZJ80 aussie spec. I've had a problem that Ive been trying to solve for a while but cant get to the bottom of it. I have a hesitation when accelerating from idle to 2000rpm, the best was to describe it is like theres water in the distributor. After 2000rpm, the...

Is my oil gauge normal on cold start? Also while driving it stays at the half mark till about 15-30mins of driving at settles right above the quarter mark. Is the oil too thick? Should I go with 0w-20?

Started with a search, but not finding an answer to my specific issue. The GX has plenty of heat, but it only wants to come out of the vents above 2500/3000 rpm. As soon as I drop below that, it goes ice cold. Is this a door motor issue? A circuit board issue? Has anyone seen this before...

I've just replaced front evaporator and expansion valve, vacuumed, and charged. Front AC blowing cold. When I turn on rear AC, it blows warm. I quickly turn it off in case there's a leak and I'll lose my refrigerant and then front AC will stop working, too. So long as rear AC stays off the...
