spark

I am going to do a simple change of my stock spark plug wires this month if I can make the walk to the shop. They are getting a bit stiff. I also seem to be flooded with fancy sales buzz words about spark plug wires and prices from $20.00 to $112.00 per set. I recognize there are some real...

Hello guys, I have a 105 1999 (1FZ-FE) landcruiser, and it stopped working, I parked the car, went shopping got back in it refused to start and had it towed home, which was fun. I have the codes. P1300 P1310 P1320 And I can see there is no spark. I had a look through the forum and have had a...

What is the right spark plug for an 83 FJ40?

Yesterday I was triumphantly driving around my neighborhood with my buddy who assisted me in replacing my leaking clutch master/slave and hardline. Suddenly the engine ran rough, backfired, ran for about 50 yards and then died. No spark. Troubleshooting this morning and there is no spark to the...

Like the title indicates - I found oil coating the threads on the spark plug in cylinder 7. I did find a thread on here saying that is known issue and seemed to indicate changing seals may not remedy the issue - what says the wisdom of the forum? Anyone else encounter this? Rig is a 2017 with...

I'm looking for resources on how to change/replace my 2014 LX 570 spark plugs. I have found some YouTube videos on the actual unscrew/removal of the spark plugs and install them. However, I'm looking for the part that's before the actual removing and installing of the plugs itself. I need to...

How do you get these dang things out? I've broken the plastic (or hardened rubber) inner rings, some were already broken. I've bent the tabs up from inside the valve covers. I'm trying to wedge a small flat head under the seals, and can't get a grip on them with needle nose pliers. What's the...

Hello all, I’ve got a 1967 fj45 that I’m having some issues with on the ignition/spark side, it’s getting fuel, air, and everything else except spark, but it does get one spark when I turn the key back to the off position, I’ve got power to the coil when the key is on but no spark when turning...

i was hoping to get a better understanding of these two issues. does anyone have any pics or technical information? do i find both of them in the FSM in the mechanical chapter? do spark plug tube seals get done when you do a valve stem seals get done when you do a head gasket? i've got a couple...

I have an 86 FJ60 with a DUI distributor in it. Been great for a long time. Recently I’ve had it occasionally not want to start. Starter turns over fine but no spark. Also on occasion the horn won’t work. When this happens everything else works, the fan, lights, guages, radio etc. When I check...

1996 Land Cruiser, 175k miles Driving it this morning. 10 minutes from home while gently accelerating from a stop sign the engine died (it all happened smoothly and did not hiccup or backfire). I tried to start it again and it fired for less than 1 second only 1 time but died again instantly...

We are on a three week family roadtrip and very sadly, a sparkplug on our 2010 Land Cruiser seems to have blown out and stripped all the threads in the hole. New sparkplug doesn't go in, just rattles around in there. Local Toyota Dealership is saying a new engine is likely required, but is...

Some advice needed, Car cranks but no spark, took dizzy cap off and cranked but the rotor wasn’t spinning, took the distributor out and it spins freely out and the gears look undamged. When the distributor is in I can’t turn it by hand. Will take the valve cover off tomorrow but any...

Has anybody seen a torque spec for spark plugs in a 2F ?

Hey everyone, I recently picked up a 1971 FJ55 that has been motor swapped with a 1.5F. I'm absolutely stumped. I can get the truck to turn over, but no matter what I do, I get no spark. I have installed a new coil, plug wires, condenser, points, distributor cap, checked every ground, and...

I just started this project for my grandparents. I’ve only done mechanical work on my 99 Tacoma so a lot of this stuff is new to me. They’ve been using the land cruiser as a shelf for the last 30 years and we got it somewhat clear of junk last weekend. So far I put a battery in it, it turned on...

Came as a spare with my truck I just bought and appears to be super clean low wear but I have no way to test... so assume its just for parts or rebuild? Unknown mileage as well but is for my 1993 FJ with the 1Z-FE. I have a few items for sale in other threads, price listed plus shipping: - NEW...

Yesterday my 100lc was running very rough and I got a cel for a cylinder 8 misfire. I thought I would just go change the coil but when I went to change it I found the cable that connects to the coil was very loose above it where it connects into the wire harness. I pushed it black in and the...

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!

Hey guys, anyone understand HEI style distributors? I'm running one of those internal-coil distributors the PO installed. Basically the motor died while driving. Got it home, here's the conclusion. The spark plugs are getting intermittent spark. It won't stay running because it cuts out and...
