spark

Hi All, My driveway was recently graced by a 2008 AT 4WD FJ Cruiser with over 230k on the odometer. While diagnosing a catalytic converter malfunction, I noticed that the driver's side bank had NGK plugs installed, but the passenger side bank was equipped with Denso plugs. My understanding is...

Recently, I purchased a 1973 Toyota FJ40 with the intent to rebuild it with my 14 old Son as a project car. We have a spark problem that has gotten both of us scratching our heads. I have replaced the starter solenoid, ballast resistor, rotor button, and rotor cap. Also, we replaced the coil...

I've got several issues with the Cruiser that I need some advice/assistance with. After swapping the U-joints out last week, I've noticed the truck isn't running as smoothly. When I dropped the driveshaft, I marked everything with Whiteout to make sure I put it back in the same way. U-joints...

So as I mentioned earlier, I am new to these things. I just pulled the plugs out of the engine. Obviously I have carbon on these, which is a no no, that much I know. There also seems to be some sort of stalagtite-type features growing on it. Not sure what it is, but to explain if the picture...

so we are trying to get this 40 to fire. Started last week When dumping fuel into the carb. Just put an OEM fuel pump on and now we are not getting spark. Not sure if we broke whatever that is on top of the coil, but both sides are pulling 12v. Getting 12 volts to the top of the distributor but...

My old V8 just blew a plug. Yes, that is right. Blew a plug. The core of the plug ejected upwards. The thread was still in place. The inner core of the plug blew through the ignition coil, kind of exploded now. If that happens, stand still, stop engine, do not try to drive home. Because you...

Just finished replacing the head gasket. It just won't start. Here is what I have tried so far, and the results: -Re-did the procedure for installing the distributor. -Took off distributor cap, set crank to top dead center, and verified distributor rotor is pointing in correct orientation...

I have been trying to trouble shoot a no spark issue for days on my 91 LC. I have tested 3 coils, replaced the points with a pertronix system that works in another LC I own and still I have no spark. I have read and re-read the manual I have and studied the wiring diagram as best I can; I am at...

Trying to fix up a non running 93 FZJ80 and I don't want to drop a bunch of money on a truck that I have no idea if it even runs in the first place.. Once\If I get it running...
