The main temperature control knob on my lx470 the center console spins loosely when I turn it to adjust the temp. It does work to adjust the temperature but not accurately. Sometimes I have to spin the knob a few times and it'll just adjust by 1 or 2 degrees and other times it'll go to max...

Today I was driving back to work from lunch and heard a weird noise like squeaking of brakes, but I wasn't breaking. This was shortly followed by a very loud bang (backfire) and I immediately pulled over. The engine was still running just fine and when I let off the clutch it had power but now...

I have a place I usually get my regular non ethanol gas. Ran into town and misjudged this beast and it's gas guzzling and had to put on some gas w10-15% ethanol. LC is a 2000. Any concerns?

Hi I have a 86 BJ70 w/ 3B 3.4L and I'm having a fuel problem. The engine turns over but doesn't start. I put in a new fuel pump and that hasn't fixed the problem. My next guess is the fuel relay but I'm having trouble finding any info on where it is. I know about the relay fuses underneath the...

I just installed new (rebuilt) calipers in the front with new custom (hydraulic shop) soft lines to the calipers (these are fairly long to facilitate taking off the calipers to service the knuckles in the future). Now I'm bleeding the system. Fresh fluid, speed bleeders at all 4 corners...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum, in fact this is my first post. I bought an 80 Series (1996 4.2TD auto) recently and I'm loving it. Sure is a big upgrade after running an Isuzu Bighorn 3.1TD and before that a Nissan Pathfinder 2.7TD. I went the 80 for the reliability and because I tow a caravan...

Ok I went four wheeling the other day and now I have a problem. My front and rear locker lights just flashed and to my knowledge never locked in. Now I can not turn the wheel and pull forward. It is binding up or something is stopping the truck. I lifted truck in air and wheels spin opposite of...

Last year I had a problem with my car - it started turning over during the night and since it was in gear it drove slowly against the handbrake into the fence. It was still trying to push over the fence when I woke. Since then, it has been to the auto elec and they said that they couldn't find...

I have a 1993 FJ80, Last night after about an hour of driving, i noticed my engine sounded strange, so i pulled over to check it. It was making an obvious chattering sound from the front of the motor, checked the oil level and it was fine, no engine light, it didnt sound like a knock and...

Hi, all. Doing some odds and ends waiting for a fuel pump actually. My odometer stopped working so I've disassembled to go through the cleaning and re-lubricating process mentioned in other threads here. It appears the main worm gear is stripped out. I'm unable to find the part online so I'm...

I have an intermittent problem of lack of braking power + hard pedal. It is maybe once every 10 braking. I did all the tests recommended to check brake booster & vacuum, but could not identify the problem. Pressure seems to hold well. One thing is odd though. When I start the engine after...

Recently I got an oil sample result back that shows excessive wear. Chromium.. iron.. copper.. etc. Pretty much discounted it. Talked to Blackstone and they admit it could have been mixed up with someone else.. but highly unlikely. The LC has 109,000 miles.. sounds perfect.. gets standard...

Hi, I just bought a remote transponder key for my LX470 (2005) off ebay. I used techsteam and programmed the remote key part of it and subsequently I got it cut and programmed by a locksmith. It generally works great (although I find in difficult to press the remote key buttons, as they are...

I have a 2003, and the other week my climate controls started having problems. Specifically, they don't work. When I push the CLIMATE button I get a message on the NAV screen "Check the connection of the Air Conditioner". Since that time, this problem has coming and going. For example...

My wife was driving the GX this morning and she said that while sitting at a red light the Traction Control Light came on and started beeping. When she began to accelerate she said it was difficult to get going so I can only assume the VSC was activating. Is a faulty speed sensor the only thing...

I recently took delivery (after 2 years at 3 different shops) of a 6.0 conversion on my '66 FJ40. The 6.0 sits in front of an NV4500 and the stock transfer case. The 6.0 is approximate 2003. I need to figure out the exact year for sure. When it runs, it runs great, but it has an intermittent...

Truck is a 1993 HDJ81 with an electronic A442F. Here's the breakdown: I had my injection pump rebuilt by a reputable shop and re&re'd by my normal guy (I just don't have the time to pull this otherwise I'd do it myself). Since the rebuild (which went well) my torque converter lockup, which is...

My hardtop hangs over the back of my tub by about an inch. Its a fiberglass tub of unknown origin. Are there differences in tops through the years? See photo
