ignition

Hey everyone! Can someone refresh my memory…? On a ‘97, does the green light up ring around the key ignition time out? After doing a bunch of work this weekend I’ve noticed mine stays on. Worried that it might cause a parasitic drain. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Hey all, I've been rebuilding my engine, and while the parts were at the machine shop I started work on the carb and dizzy, rebuilding the carb, and following the 'poor-man's recurve' linked here. After I got the dizzy apart, I noticed the shaft bearing didn't spin smoothly, and was audibly...

Ive got an odd one here. Ive seen the many efi relay/efi circuit issues. But mine is an Intermittent no crank. My condition sounds like a bad starter. I cycle the key over and over and eventually it will start. BUT If i pull the efi relay it will crank every time but (obviously) not stat. I've...

Hello everybody, I was searching about this over the forum but since I have a non US distributor (and cruiser), I decided to give it a try and ask. Sorry but no part numbers stamped on the distributor, the rotor or the cap, I suspect cap and rotor are not OEM and will look to replace them as...

Hey guys. Old distributor went out so I ordered a new one. I set it to fire on TDC compression stroke. According to my timing light, it's getting inconsistent spark. Why could this be? I believe power to the distributor is constant. Thanks for any help!

Forgive me if this sort of thing has been discussed before. I did a search and found nothing, but I'm admittedly new to searching this forum, so definitely could have missed something. '94 FZJ80 GXL, Aussie RHD import. I've had it for about 5 weeks. Came with two keys. One of those keys...

Hey guys, I know there are plenty of threads about this issue, but I am really just trying to source the right part. I have a 1998 LX470. Ebay sells a ton of them but they all seem to be stamped “7853B.” My understanding is that this part will not work and that it is for the LC with the manual...

Hi All, My driveway was recently graced by a 2008 AT 4WD FJ Cruiser with over 230k on the odometer. While diagnosing a catalytic converter malfunction, I noticed that the driver's side bank had NGK plugs installed, but the passenger side bank was equipped with Denso plugs. My understanding is...

Alright. So as things have been getting hotter Ive been running into some starting issues. Trying to fix this I bought a new battery. Replaced the alternator. Thinking the battery wasnt charged up enough to get a proper start. Following these fixes though it seems like it has more difficulty...

I installed a new starter and connected it according to the online reference that I found, CENTER TO POWER and S SIDE (the little bolt on the right hand side) TO THE SMALL WIRE, LEAVING THE OTHER CONNECTOR EMPTY (the little bolt on the left hand side) *see picture. I started the truck (1993...

My beloved 2001 LC has a gremlin. She has 190k miles and still runs and rides like new. But, three long dealership visits and $$$$ later, the gremlin still remains. No one seems to be able to figure out this one. I'm hoping someone here has experienced a similar issue.... 1) First issue; Car...

After reading a horror story, I am thinking about replacing my Ignition Rod before it breaks. I am not currently having any problems but, my 2001 LX has 122,000 miles. Do you all think that is a good idea? If so, what is the best rod that I can buy?

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...

I've been having trouble with my 80 it started out not wanting to restart after driving and would have to sit, cool down in order to re start. I let it sit for a day or two and then It wouldn't give spark at all. Finally got it started again with a new ignition coil, wires, and plugs. Once it...

Looking to upgrade to EFI for my 2f over the summer and need some help to make an educated decision on a holley setup. I want the benefits of self learning and having a DRO to see whats happening with my poor 2f; plus the ease of installation and lower cost of the sniper setup has me leaning...

Recently, I purchased a 1973 Toyota FJ40 with the intent to rebuild it with my 14 old Son as a project car. We have a spark problem that has gotten both of us scratching our heads. I have replaced the starter solenoid, ballast resistor, rotor button, and rotor cap. Also, we replaced the coil...
