lj78

My mechanic thought we had fixed my sudden loss of fuel to the fuel pump problem. We replaced the ecu, checked the wiring, etc. but now it’s returned. My LJ78 runs great, a half tank of gas maybe, then randomly stalls. After it completely cools down, it will start up again and run fine till...

ISO a clean windshield for my 1994 Prado. Mine's done! I'm in Calgary, but willing to travel/arrange shipping for a good one. Thank you!

New to the forum, new to Cruisers, new to vehicles that sometimes don't work! Also the genius who bought a Prado project as a daily driver :) What's done? Head gaskets, water pump, muffler, custom exhaust, fresh filters everywhere, miscellaneous belts and bolts. She still needs an injector...

A week or so ago I started getting a squeal until my truck is warmed up. It took a few days to figure it out but it is coming from the free wheeling tensioner that rides on the back side of the belt. I don't see an adjustment. Help?

A friend's college aged kid with a lot of miata wrenching experience needed work during summer break so I had him put a new ct20 turbo on my LJ78 with 2lte. Ever since the turbo swap I get a good 30 seconds of blue smoke on cold startup. Not on warm startup. A couple of other odd symptoms...

Bottom line: The AC clutch will only engage in park or neutral. AC will blow cold at any RPM in park or neutral. Had the wife put it in drive, 2 and L and the clutch disengages. I have checked the hi and low pressure at a shop and both are fine. Pulled off the clutch and everything looks...

After two days of highway driving and one of hard trail running I can say that I'm very pleased with how it's working. I just got a turbo boost controller and installed it, but I them read a forum that suggested just removing the vacuum line from the waste gate altogether. So I did that and ran...

Figured since my other thread is more of an overall build of my truck I would start a thread dedicated to my 1uz swap. I am hoping to get a bit more traffic from the NZ guys or SA guys since as far as I know there is only one other guy in my area that has successfully completed this swap. So...

Hello all - A family member has a Prado in Tanzania with a blown turbo. Not sure what's exactly wrong with it but he brought the guts back home to the US with him hoping to find replacement parts or a rebuild kit. Can anyone recommend good sources for parts and info? Thanks!

The rubber is rotted out and broken on my air intake hose. This is the piece that connects to the turbo intake, and has nipples on it for the crankcase breather, etc. It was held together with some electrical tape by the lovely previous owner, and that all came apart obviously. I can't seem to...
