start

Hello, I wonder if anyone has an idea about what is going on? When the weather drops to around 5 degrees celsius I sometimes get a hot start issue. If I have been driving for around 30 minutes and the engine is thoroughly warmed up and then stop the engine it will not restart until the...

Hi everyone! I have a 99' land cruiser, and live at the bottom of one of the steepest roads in america. The other day, I was driving up the hill when the transfer case failed (sudden grinding sound, can't put in gear in either high or low). I managed to back it down the hill to a safe flat...

Hello I have a VJD diesel with a problem. Every now and then she will shut down then she turns over but wont start. After a minute or two there is an audible clicking sound behind the motor like something reseting and she fire and runs like nothing happed. Has anyone had this problem maybe...

First post here. I picked up a 223k mile FJ62 a couple months ago. Drove home approx 20 miles just fine. I did some pressure washing under the hood and then a cap, rotor, plugs, wires, and cleaned throttle body. Ran great. There was a mangled ground wire going from the air meter through the...

tried to start today and only clicks. Charged both batteries and load tested them all good. it uses 24 volts to start. checked starter relay all good. Replaced 12 - 24 change over relay as was getting bad resistance across 1 contact. Has anyone had this problem before?

Don’t know how to my story again. Bought it 10+ years ago. Signed up here. Bought some parts to get running. Drove it less than 75 miles park it my driveway and start cleaning the interior and stripped her naked also the carpet. Family life took over. 9 years later I want to put her back again...

OKAY, I have remote start, but of course, it turns off when I try to open my door or unlock my vehicle. My 2018 Honda Civic doesn't do this. Is there a way to prevent my 2013 GX460 from turning off when I open the door or unlock it? Thanks!

Howdy, mudders! Need your guys’ help. Let me preface this thread by saying the 40 started just fine when I drove it into the garage 4 years ago. I took it all the way down to frame, sand blasted and went through it (except did not touch t case, or further into block than valve cover and side...

Is my oil gauge normal on cold start? Also while driving it stays at the half mark till about 15-30mins of driving at settles right above the quarter mark. Is the oil too thick? Should I go with 0w-20?

It just started doing this. Any ideas? It darkens the mirrors every time I start and i have to push the button on the review mirror to turn it off.

Back story, I've had my 1988 FJ62 for about 3 years now. When I got it went on jack stands while I went through everything and cleaned it up. About a year or so ago it started having starting issues. It'll crank and crank just until you start questioning if it's actually going to start and then...

Looking for a little guidance on some hot starting issues. I drove my 80 across the country for college. While driving I noticed lots of built-up pressure in the gas tank when filling up. Gas would sputter out and the truck began to struggle to start while hot. I replaced the vapor canister...

So I’ve owned my 2004 LX470 for a year now. Since owning it I always had this hard starting problem. It almost never happens during cold start. It only happens when the engine is warm. I think that’s something to take note of. Can someone please help on what I can do to fix it? Here are videos...

My battery was tired and not holding a charge so I picked up a new one and replaced it. The truck turns over strong, but will not start. No other changes than the battery. The truck ran fine before the swap. I double checked the wires and everything is connected correctly; what am I missing?

I let the LC get pretty low recently on a drive and now after a refill of fuel, I get a slow start and smell fuel from the outside. I admit I’m at a loss, I can’t see fuel puddling or leaking. Where can I start troubleshooting here? TIA!!

Dealerships and private car audio stores cannot get remote start to work on my 2021 LC. Had dealership install and uninstall the factory remote start. Had two shops install the drone mobile remote start and could not get it working. Anyone in the DFW area get it working on 20 or 21 model? If so...

I have put this on all my cruisers with automatics. Works great. They are offering free install as well. The compatibility section says it won't do 100 series but they have done my 98 lx470. I ended up just selection a 97 lx450 and they got it working. You could always call them just incase...

I've been having electrical issues on different parts of my 76 FJ40 over the last year or two and have been replacing wires etc. Today, I tested voltage between my (-) terminal and the block, while the engine was running, and I got around 10v :/ So.. as someone without much auto/electrical...

Howdy friends, I’ve had my 80 for the last several years, she’s old, loud, and when running, totally reliable. However the whole time I’ve had this truck it has routinely had periods where it simply won’t crank and consequently won’t start. All the electrics on the dash come up, battery is...

I removed the dash to do evaporator and heater core. After I reconnected everything the engine won't turn over. Any suggestions?
