engine

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...

Been thinking about pushing some fresh oil throughout the engine before starting it after a long storage spell. What would be the best place to connect the pre-oiler tank to on the late 80 series engine? I would normally assume that the oil pressure gauge is a good spot to try first but is...

Bought this idler shaft from AA and never ended up using it. Box was only opened for pictures. Located in Castaic Ca. Part number and description in the pictures. 125 shipped to lower 48.

I think I eft up. Thought id do a nice thing for my truck and took the engine in for a rebuild after 50 years, well that might have been a mistake. Researched builders in the area and visited a few, the one I decided on had just done a couple of F engines so “ they know what to do”. Build has...

On a '96 1fz, there's a ground wire in the harness close to the starter power wire. Where does that ground attach? Frame? Starter bolt? I'm swapping an engine from a wreck and failed to document where I detached that one. Thanks.

I need some advice on a strange issue. I’ve had a couple of occasions when the dash dings, the CEL illuminates, the vehicles stalls while going slow in a parking lot or in slow traffic. I put it into neutral, hit the start button to turn off and then to start. Starts right back up. No CEL...

Hi everyone, and welcome to my TED talk. 1993 FZJ80 @ 339k mi. TL;DR: I've had weird engine symptoms since I owned the truck in 2018 at 308k mi, generally involving random bouts of poor idling. Now the truck is having increasingly more frequent drops in RPM under throttle (in gear and...

I have two intake manifolds Two heads, one in good working shape other needs seats cut Wire harness and computer and all injectors, distributor's Alternator two oil coolers valve covers push rods and rocker assembly, no lifters cant ship the heads but everything else I can. also have a good...

I was working out my vacuum hoses and trying to put everything in the right places, since the cruiser ran like crap. Found a hose missing off the 3 from the intake and then the egr was missing a hose. I got everything lined up and then this part appeared behind my air.....barrel? Question...

78 with headers. Runs great till it heats up. Chugs then if you let off or come to a stop it stalls. Starts right back up though. It doesnt sputter just a rhythmic chugging. Just started happening. I replaced the FP and filter to see if that was it and nope. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

2F, de-smogged, Weber 38 carb, headers, 92,000 or 192,000 miles. I’ve had it for 18 years. I’ve never rebuilt an engine, but rebuilt everything else on here over the years. Small oil leaks have gotten bigger, valves have slowly gotten more noisy than normal (despite valve adjustments and...

First off, thank you, MUD community. I've searched through multiple threads for solutions to various problems, and because of the wealth of knowledge here on MUD, I have been able to find the answers I need to fix the issues I have encountered. I have never needed to post a question myself...

Edit - Price drop to $4000 or will split 3B engine, had 290km on the cluster. Started first crank after sitting for years. Pulled out of a Troopy we couldn't save the body on :( This add has all my contact info...

97 FZJ 80, European spec., delivered to Finland, no OBD2, 1FZ with 360 000 km on the clock. for the last 2000 km (starting in the dunes of Grand Erg Oriental/Sahara desert) the CEL came on intermittendly. When trying to get a code with the paperclip method: continuous blinking and after...

I had read that de-smogging would result in only moderate gains in performance, but the job I did today made a huge difference. I suspect that the real game changer for my rig was the removal of so many vacuum related points of failure. Many of the hoses that I pulled were clogged or corroded...

Selling a pair of driveshafts removed from a 96 80 series. These are in good shape, U-joints are good and there is no denting or spiraling from dragging over rocks. Yes, of course nuts, bolts, and washers are included. Price $75 either shaft. Buyer pays shipping. These would be great spares you...

After 5.5 long months (engine rebuilt), my baby is back!! Runs like new, need to break it in.

working in the engine compartment today I came across this. Is it something important? Can anybody identify what it is supposed to connect to?

I recently bought a used engine from a Japanese half-cut. It's in great condition, except that it seems to have been left long-term with just a trace of coolant/water in, and the inside of the coolant passages is rusty. I have flushed out a lot of rust sludge with a hose, but I am still concened...

I am looking for a healthy 1PZ engine. Preferably with verifiable compression numbers or proactively removed for an engine swap.
