idle

Hello everyone, I’m trying to help out my uncle: before retirement he ran a successful garage for many years, but now he has a peculiar issue with his own daily ride, that seems to puzzle everyone he knows. Here I try to convey the information he gave me, so I don’t have all the details, but...

Hi forum.. as the title states.. I have a strange issue when it comes to starting the truck. As you can see in the video.. I turn the key and nothing happens. No sounds at all. On the 4th try, it starts up just fine. This has been happening for the last 2 months approx.. Last week I...

Hi Mud, Recently I cleaned my throttle body and associated components on my ‘94 LC after my idle was all over the place. I also did the plugs/wires/etc. as they had not been done in sometime. After putting it all together, my high idle on a cold start (currently 15-20 degrees F in the morning...

For the last month my 80 has been shifting a little slower, I didn't think much of it since the 80s aren't known for their fast shifting, but yesterday, I put my car in park and left the AC running while I was waiting for someone. About 10 minutes of keeping the car in park the RPMs started...

ok I've moved on to the next issue :) So my engine is gulping oil due to me yanking the choke when I fire it up. I assume because I'm "choking" the engine, it is burning more oil as it should and is meant to do. My issue is the friggin car won't stay lit. It wants to rumble out every time I...

I have an odd and seemingly unresolved problem... no matter what I've tried. First things first... I have an FSM, I have used all of my Google superpowers, replacement parts are all OEM (even the replacement tubes, lines, sensors, etc) and now I'm asking for help. The problem: I have a 96...

I purcahased a 1984 FJ60 with a Weber carb - 38 DGAS/ES. I have had endless issues trying to get it to idle. Carb was stripped, cleaned and reinstalled. Tested for vacuum leaks. Got it idling great when engine was cool to warm. But as soon as it ran hot it would stall. RPM would vary...

I have a 93 FZJ80. It's round about 275k miles. Oil consumption is about 1 qt per 750 miles. When I start it up (with the AC on), it idles at about 1800-2000 RPM for about 60 seconds, then drops to 1000-ish. Once I drive it a bit, it idles normally at 600-650. Related issues: With the AC...

Hey Team: My '93 FZJ80 randomly started having a consistent rough idle when in Gear (including Reverse). I'm interested in thoughts on what else I should investigate. In park, I idle a little above 1K RPM and the engine runs smoothly. When I put her into gear, I kick down to about 700 RPM...

Hi Everyone: I'm having trouble with a rough idle when my '93 FZJ80 is in gear. I initially thought it was a bad IAC, so I pulled the sucker out (which is a massive pain) and tried testing the unit by hooking it up to my battery via alligator clips and following the FSM test guide. Low and...

The long and short: bought a BJ42 a couple years ago, it ran great when I parked it. I replaced the hand pump with the Bosch one as recommended. The fuel lines from the tank to the hand pump are new rubber. I have a return line from the engine back to the tank. Nothing seems to be visibly...

Is anyone aware of what can cause the idle speed of a 1hz to vary away from the 'screw setting' on the injector pump? I've got mine wound up a little (I set it to 700) because of the rough idling issue, but sometimes it'll idle up to 800 rpm. I haven't get done anything with injectors (got a...

Hi guys! I've tried to look this up, but couldn't quite find anything exactly similar to my problem, so I figured I'd see if anyone had any ideas. Recently my 60 (Pearl) has started stalling if the gas pedal isn't pressed a little or if the choke is off. It will idle with the choke. When I turn...

Hi guys, new to the forum, here's a little background info: I inherited my grandfather's 60 series with a 12ht (auto) and 230,000km, always serviced every 10,000km at CMI Toyota since new. Nearly immaculate, always garaged and very well looked after. Now I don't know much about diesels and...

Recently bought my first car, a real neat HJ61 with the 12HT. It seems like a fairly common problem, but my revs are at about 600 on startup. Makes the "romp,romp" noise and wants to stall. Also if I rev it and then let them drop, it comes really close to stalling. I wanted to know if anyone...

Guys - I'm a little stumped. My 60 cruises well, and idles well. But once it's fully warmed up and then some (probably 20-25 minutes+), it won't transition from cruising (let's say 2000-3000rpm or so) to idling without dying unless I blip/stab the gas during that transition. If I don't blip...

My AC is cold as ice on my 85. Only when the RPM's are above ~650. I researched what is needed to idle up when the AC kicks in, and don't see one on my carb. What's the issue here? If I push the throttle a bit, 200 additional RPM's, the AC kicks in. Weird thing is that the arm that would be...

Hello everyone, I am driving around the US in my 94 Fzj80 with 196,000 on it. So far, about 1500 miles in, the truck is running great. Today I started it up just fine but I noticed when I stopped at a light that the rpm would quickly drop to about 450-500rpm and then immediately bounce back up...

I have searched and found references to folks that have pulled, cleaned, whatever, but no actual mention of taking it apart and servicing it. Anyone open one of these little gems up? I am having floating idle speeds and I have eliminated about everything except this. I have tested the valve...

Ok so when I turn on my AC my truck does not idle up. So I need a replacement part, the part is discontinued for the 82 model what years will work? anyone have PN so I can replace with like a 86ish? Kyle
