diagnose

I’m smelling gas from my ‘78 FJ40. I can’t see any gas leaks, but there could be a micro leak somewhere. Obviously you can’t see for certain unless you pull the tank which in my case is a huge problem since I have a roll cage that replaces my stock seat frame mount. In order to remove the...

Hello, I bought a 2018 Land Cruiser. During the inspection I did not verify the sound system, which is not working. The symptoms are that there is no sound, not from the FM/AM/XM radio, not through Bluetooth paired with my iPhone, nor any voice navigation instructions from the nav system...

Title is the basics of it. I’m looking for advice on diagnosing the problem, and getting it fixed. Currently maybe every 10th change down I’ll need to give it a bit of a bump to shift from the middle of the box to the 1st/2nd side of the box. Not a huge issue at the moment, but I am conscious...

I’ve been trying to diagnose an undercarriage rattle for a bit. I’v suspected it’s related to the AHC system for a while. I just discovered what I think is crucial information: the rattling stops when I put the AHC in high mode. When in neutral, I hear a hollow rattling/clanking when I drive...

97 TLC. Essentially unmodified from stock, but massively reconstructed...frame swap etc, so if there is something wrong, its likely my doing. Yes, it ran before the teardown. So I've got the beast all back together from frame swap and professional head rebuild. Engine starts and idles...

All, I've been fighting this hesitation since I got it back on the road after years of sitting, '96 was the last time it was registered. Symotoms: Hesitation when engine is colder, get less noticeable when warm, but still definitely there. Feels like someone has a tow strap hooked up and is...

Hey guys, I have a 1991 land cruiser with about 147,000 miles. I usually drive it about once a week recently it was sitting for about 10 days before I could get a chance to start it. Before it sat for 10 days it was driving just fine. I went to start it, but it kept cranking over and over…...

Mud, Hey guys I am having some issues with my heat working. The blowers work but the heat comes out luke warm. Worked last time i check it in August or September but seems to have stopped working now. Any ideas on how to diagnose or fix this would be greatly appreciated before I take it to...

I've been having electrical issues on different parts of my 76 FJ40 over the last year or two and have been replacing wires etc. Today, I tested voltage between my (-) terminal and the block, while the engine was running, and I got around 10v :/ So.. as someone without much auto/electrical...

So, over the last two weeks I’ve been trying to diagnose a problem… the rattle you hear in the video. I’ve replaced the tensioner pulley and assembly, fan clutch, fan clutch bracket, alternator, and idler pulley. None of which seems to actually have been the issue once I got it all buttoned...

Hi everyone, Hoping to get some ideas on what may be causing this grinding noise which seems to be coming from the transfer case area. The truck is a 1979 BJ40 with a 4 speed transmission. The noise occurs in all 4 forward gears (while moving) and does not occur in reverse. When the clutch is...

My a/c blows ice cold when I first start it up in the morning after it's sat in the garage overnight. It will blow cold for the duration of that drive. However, once it sits in the parking lot somewhere and the sun heats up the truck (Tucson, AZ), it doesn't blow cold at all. The air will...

Hey guys, very annoying “sissing” noise coming out of my front driver side wheel. Happens at all speeds but seems to lessen when applying brakes. Tried to hit the gas while applying brakes to see if it was the motion speed or the actual application of the brakes and couldn’t tell. I just...
