rpm

Hi. I just buy a HDJ80 with a 1hd-ft engine. Very nice car. It have 557k on the clock. There is one big issue... It will not go over 2600 rpm. I have been testing the wastegat it moves fine and the car pull very fine from the bottom and open to 2600 rpm with a little smoke. With the clutch down...

So I took my new FJ62 in to get smogged today and they couldn't perform the test because the rpms idled at 1300. They said it kept shutting their machine down because it was too high. They believed it needed to be around 800 and recommended a specific mechanic (which they're not allowed to...

I have a 2 2002 Lc's one is perfect and the other I been getting a vibration between 3-4k rpm soon as i hit 3k it starts and once above 4k it goes away. it seems to be doing it in 3rd gear. I checked the front and rear drive shafts, they are tight. I did a lock to lock while driving forward and...

I was out with the wife and child running errands when my Cruiser developed a new issue that increased in intensity relatively quick. Truck has been running fine, it just got a "tune up" with new plugs, coil packs, fuel filter, air filter, and cleaned the throttle body. I noticed while parking...

After some searching nothing really matches the issue I'm having. I've recently done a full knuckle rebuild with wheel bearings, rotors, calipers and pads. The noise was present before and still exists; basically when I have the truck in gear it starts making this grinding noise whenever I go...

A month ago, I took my Cruiser to a mechanic my local off-road club had recommended. He said that the fault was with my neutral safety switch. He pointed out that none of the dash gear indicator lights were working except R and L. He also pointed out that the R and L gears work properly. In 2...

I can't seem to figure out this problem on my new LC. It's a '94 FZJ80, fuel injection, automatic. While in D, the RPM will not go above 2000. It stops right at 2000; hard ceiling. In P or N, the RPM behaves properly. There is no CEL. I went to a local shop a couple of days ago, and after a...

Hello, noob question for everyone: I have had my 1988 FJ62 for a little over 2 weeks now, so I am still getting a handle on what is normal for these trucks. I noticed that on the interstate traveling at 60 mph, my engine is running at 2000 RPM. This is on flat sections, and the engine just...

My cruiser gets sluggish in the heat, especially towards 30 C (90 F). It seems to have a harder time accelerating, even though it runs at the same RPM to maintain speed. Temperature gauge holds steady, too, and all fluid levels appear to be good. I've also noticed it has a harder time...

I just installed a tachometer in my 73 FJ40 with stock F motor and drive train. 2 questions: 1. Is the stock rearend 4:11 gears? That is what I was told. 2. I am taching at 3500 RPM at 70 MPH. It sounds to me more like it is wound to about 5000 RPM but the tach is showing 3500. Does that...
