ignition

So... I had an attempted hot wire on myFJ62. The idiots managed to screw up the steering column cover, ignition barrel and ignition housing. I have rigged a new ignition barrel to function (go zip ties!) but a broken ignition key release is not doing it for me. It's a shame some people really...

My LC100 started running oddly. After taking it to a friend to have it looked at we arrived at the conclusion that one cylinder was not firing. I Took it to the dealer to have the conputer read, but there where no codes (In Iceland the older LC100 models have the ODBI not the ODBII) so I...

1999 Lexus LX470 with 215K miles.. Am changing out spark plugs, cleaning throttle body and MAF, plus replacing various aging hoses, etc. Truck runs fine with old plugs and these coil packs, but noticed quite a few coil pack boots are cracked. Wondered if anyone would comment whether to just...

Finally changing plugs/wires/disty/rotor. Partly because I've been driving the truck for two years without doing it and I have no idea when/if the PO ever did it, partly because she's running a bit uneven, and partly as prep and "rehearsal" for an overdue valve adjustment. This post is...

Hello, Pulled out of the driveway the other day, and made it 100 yards before the engine cut off and would not start again. Checked the codes, got "No NE/G signal". Was getting no spark, so I followed the " EFI woe and strife" troubleshooter I have seen on here. Found that one of the...

I've seen quite a few threads about starter problems similar to what is going on with my '76, but not quite. When I turn the key to "start" it cranks fine and sounds like it's running but as soon as I release the key to the "on" position the engine dies. Same thing happens with the ignition...

I recently bought an LX, 97, and I am in process of getting replacement keys. Unlike my 80, it seems I have to go through Lexus to get a fancy laser cut key, approx $230 quote. Surely there is a better option, short of replacing my ignition. Any suggestions?

I have looked through the forums and everywhere I can online as this is a common issue but cant seem to find a clear answer to my question.... I have a 97' LX450 and while the ignition works well at the moment, the key sits very loose in the cylinder at all times. I can easily remove the key...

Have had this for a while. Usually, but not exclusively, when starting for the first time each day turn the key and...nothing. Wiggle key...nothing. Hold key to the far right...nothing. Then, LC just fires up. Most days, that's it. But, occasionally, this happens after turning off the...

I have an unfamiliarly new Starter Motor that looks a bit different than the old one and unfortunately does not have any labels on it that I can see. So my question is simply, Where does the IGN START wire connect to my specific starter solenoid? This wire.... Where does it connect to this...

What's up guys! I'm gonna get straight to the point in this post! Goal: Complete the ignition wiring circuit so that I can start the motor. Dilemma: Diagrams don't look the same. Need to decide which one to go with and need to find where the ign switch start wire (purple wire) goes on the...

I am beginning to see a recurring issue during ignition on my 88 FJ 62. The first start up of the day, the engine stumbles while igniting. It eventually gets there though. No problems while running at all. Throughout the rest of the day other start ups seem to be fine. May stumble after long...

this looks like it would rock in a F2 EcoIgnition - Earth friendly performance Heard of anyone using these ? I would assume some racers would, but i would be interested to know if it would equal a V8 upgrade, along with better mileage....

My 1995 has developed a strange starting issue that I need some help on. After sitting for several hours (usually overnite) it will not start. Turning the key results in a click but no starter engagement. Battery has tested fine. No amount of jiggling the key helps. Here's the strange...

Hi All. Been a keen reader of the forum for a long time but this is my first post. I have had a look at other posts but there isnt really anything that seems to fit my situation although many seem to describe some of the symptoms. I hope there is someone there that may offer some help here. My...

Hello everyone, I recently had my fj80 (1991) parked for a month or so because I was using my other vehicle to commute, recently I tried to start it and it wouldn't even click so I took down the starter and rebuilt it. When I took it off I ran it straight from the battery and it was stuck so...
