idle

At idle, I'm noticing a little squeek/chirp. I'm pretty sure it sound like a belt judging by the rhythm of the noise. Any idea what might be causing that? I know it's a vague question, but I bet someone knows exactly what it is...

Well it's not much of a rebuild, but I took apart my malfuntioning I.S. and got it working. Perhaps this has been documented. Drill out the 3 dimples holding the cover on. To remove the cover I clamped one of the mounting ears in a vise. I then used channel lock waterpump pliers to wiggle...

Hey Y'all Well, for 2 months "OSO" has been running better than at any time since we owned her. The major issue with stalling seemed to be resolved with the TPS replacement (after 4 months of replacing everything else), the new O2's relocated in the new custom '96/'93 cat-exhaust system...

I've had an idle up switch (just a generic one) on my dash for some time. I tied it into the vacuum switching valve (vsv) that my AC controls, using a couple diodes, so when I toggle it on the dash it idles up the engine a couple hundred revs until the switch is turned off. My main reason for...

I am having a very annoying issue with my FZJ80. When the truck first starts up the idle is ok but when I go to take off the truck will stutter and have no power from about 800-2000. The engine feels like it is stumbling with a huge misfire but after I get over about 2000 rpm it runs ok. Once it...

Here's the story: A week ago the wife and I are out running errands in the LC. Running real nice no issues. We go to Starbucks to get a coffee and while in line the engine starts missing. Started with a single miss then got progressively worse. Drove it home and it ran terribly all the way. Next...

So I discovered a bit of a problem developing with how the car is idling, it gets stuck at around 1.5-2k revs. It doesn't happen all the time, and when it does I can usually unstick it by tapping the accelerator in neutral, but then the revs drop so low (400 or less) that sometimes the car...

Hello. I am new to this forum, so thanks in advance. My 17 year old son scored a rough FJ40 for $500. It runs and stops, and is complete, though rusty. The guy who sold it told us the Holley 2 barrel carb that was on it was dumping gas (his words - not sure what that means) and so we bought a...

It's the newby again. Still haven't figured out the keyless entry deal but on to more important things to work through. When I start my 94 LC up and let it idle for a bit (waiting on the wife to get out the door) it slowly "winds" down. The engine sounds like I'm accelerating although I'm not...

Hi All, My FJ60 passed California smog last weekend under the condition that I install the little bracket that connects the Hot Air Idle tube to the intake manifold. I need to bring it back to the technician and show him that I have it installed within 2 weeks. I ordered one from...

Hi all. I just purchased a 1993 Cruiser and there is a small issue with the idling. On start up it idles fine at 800-900 rpm. After the car warms up a bit the idle speed increases to 1500. Once the car is hot the idle goes all the way up to 2000-2200. Today I switched out the temp sensor hoping...

Hey y'all, I have looked around this site a few times while trying to find some answers and finally choose to make an account and ask myself. First, What is the desired idle on a 87 FJ60? (I ask because when I adjust the idle speed to low (below 700RPM) after driving and stepping on brakes...

So the insulation from the hood fell on to the top of my engine causing the insulation to set fire. There are special wires under the intake manifold that got burned. The only code I have is 41 which is for the Throttle Position Sensor Circut. Anybody ever been under the intake manifold before...

Friends, please help me as I try one last time to dial in my idle, carb, and timing situation. I followed the procedure below as best I could. I am not clear on a couple of steps, with questions in red below: POST FROM THE FAQ "UPDATED CARB TECH": This was added to the FAQ already, just...
