idle

Howdy Guys, got an issue that i cant quite put my finger on got a 1997 1FZ in Australia (So No Cats ETC) 495xxxkms Top end rebuild 25xxx ago, Petrol/LPG Its been running super rich lately, getting about 26LT/100km and extremely poor when it first starts in the morning. At first the idle will...

Installed new oil filter housing, coolant hoses, oil pressure gauge switch, and valve cover gaskets. Now the oil pressure is running much lower than before. So what’s the normal range? With engine warm, I’m idling at about as low 10. Upon acceleration, 45-50, cruising at 30. Is this normal...

1991 FJ80 with 245,000mi. My issue was present before and after I recently did my injectors. When idling for a minute or 2 the engine starts to misfire, lope, and generally "run rough". A quick press on the go pedal will make the engine run correct for about 5 seconds then run poorly again after...

Hey guys I got a 1fz-fe petrol/lpg here and I just replaced my fuel pump to a Bosch one as my car couldn’t idle on petrol and struggle to start if it hasn’t been driven in hours. Now that I’ve replaced it, when the car is cold it will start beautifully within the first crank. But now when the...

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...
