idle

Hi all, mud has been such a lifesaver (longtime lurker here) so I'm hoping to get some help on my issue. My 2002 LC (230k miles) didn't start one day. It ran wonderfully before this. I replaced the starter myself (turns out the pinion gears were completely jammed). It starts and cranks like a...

Hey guys, my idle has been a little rough in my fj80. In park my idle is normal and good at around 650 rpm. When I idle in drive (like at a stop light), however, my idle drops below 600 rpm and sounds really rough. My oil pressure gauge also drops but I figured that was just a normal thing for...

Howdy guys, Bought an 87 FJ 60 and inherited some problems. When we got it running it wasn't firing on 1 and 2 and had a rough idle (but it could get low, around 700 rpm). It would fire on 1 and 2 if the rpms went higher, but not at idle. Tested the intake manifold with starter fluid and it...

Hey guys I’ve got a 1997 1fz-fe (Australia) and I have a bad misfire on idle, once the car warms up from a cold start it will begin to happen and will drop low enough that it stalls, taking off from the lights, it feels like it has no power until around the 2500rpm mark and then just takes off...

Hey guys I just bought this 1997 80 series about 5 days ago, ran mint passed a roadworthy and all that but now I’ve come across a few small issues, the worst one is this The Car is On Petrol/Gas runs beautifully on gas and ran great on petrol for the first few days but now all of a sudden when...

Hi, I'm a relative newbie to FJs (also current owner of LR4 and Vanagon...) and have been having a tough time getting my 85 FJ60 to run. It had been running very smoothly up until a few months ago (actually preferred this in the snow to the LR4) and then one day just wouldn't start easily at...

Hi all, after many, MANY hours scouring 'Mud for a solution, I come to you for help... Here's the lay of the land..... 1995 JDM FZJ80, bone stock 1FZ and A442F, both in really good condition mechanically, but CONTSANTLY having idle and power loss issues. Starts fine after 2-3 rolls on the...

Before i begin, allow me to preface this by saying that i’m new to the forums and this is my first post, so please be patient if this is in the wrong place. First cruiser, just trying to be part of this awesome community. Thank you :) But i digress. A handful of months ago, I bought an 87 fj60...

Hi My 1hz engine has been sitting idle for a year. I tried starting it a few times but it could not start. It only cranked kind of slowly. i am assuming my fuel filter is blocked or there is a fuel blockage somewhere. What do you guys suggest. Do I need to change the fuel filter, diesel in the...

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...
