Hey all, been trolling the forums looking for torque specs for the intake manifold, starter, and rear coolant crossover pipe (the one that goes to the heater T). Also need torque specs for water temp sensor.
Here’s what I’ve found so far and what I’m still looking for. Any help would be...
Ok so I'm a bit stumped on this one. My truck starts up very quickly when it's cold (about 2 seconds), or if its been sitting for > 5 hrs. If I get it up to operating temp and then let it sit for a while, it takes a really long time to crank (12s or so). If I drive it, shut it off, and then...
Hello folks,
I have been driving my '88 FJ62 since 2016 without a major problem, but this one has me scratching my head (and stuck in a parking lot twelve miles from home). Your expertise is greatly appreciated.
The start has always been a bit weak, but about three months ago, it started...
Are there known examples of 200s that get to 300k+ miles on the original radiator, starter, water pump, and alternator?
I've got a new-to-me 2015 with 240k miles. I took it to a Cruiser shop in Austin for a post purchase check over, and they said it was "in phenomenal condition." That said, it...
Hey, looking to see if someone has experienced this and knows what the possible problem is. Took the 80 from Langley to 100 mile house, biggest trip yet. Ran fine all the way up. When I started the car to leave it sounded like battery was struggling but turned over. Made a few stops on way back...
About once a week for the last month, I've been hearing a noise after the engine starts. It lasts from 2-10 seconds. Kind of a ticking, metal on metal rubbing. I have not been able to catch it to take a video. Until today that is.....
The difference is that the noise didn't stop once the...
Hi,
Last year I changed the timing belt and after making sure all markings on the crankshaft pulley, cam shaft pulley and injection pump pulley all lined up at TDC I gave it several turns manually. It was difficult but I did manage to turn through several complete cycles by man handling the...
Hi guys,
I'm 26 and my 85 fj60 is my daily. (haven't been able to daily it in 2.5 years....lol) Coming off a huge rebuild process and now having starting issues with the starter/ignition. I get a click the first crank, then nothing. The starter gradually starter sounding weaker and weaker. I...
Hi guys, really need some help here to find some problems. I will post a video link under it. I have this 02 lx470. Recently after sit for few days or hours. When I tried to start, It just one crank, but after a few second I start second time, it start just fine. Is this a battery problem or...
I've had to put my starter into a shop for rebuild. This lady, Cindy, has been rebuilding starters and alternators for 30 years. She said, as I walked in with it, "Ah, an old Denso unit." After testing she said that the solenoid need rebuild and seemed confident that athe guts of a newer Denso...
My HDJ81 began having starting issues over the weekend, whereupon first attempt to crank I would simply hear is the relays engage, but no starter cranking. Upon second attempt it would consistently crank and fire. I knew this would be short-lived, so I began troubleshooting. I'm glad I did...
I am pulling the 12V starter and starter relay tomorrow. If bench test shows that either of them has failed what options are there for repair or replacement. This is an early (1975) B engine. Just looking for options other than a swap to a different engine configuration.
I sure miss driving...
Hello,
I'm looking to have my mechanic replace the starter preventively on our 2016 LC (120k miles). Do most people go with the OEM or is there a different one? I didn't see a clear consensus in my search on the site. I'm also having them replace a door lock actuator. Was going to buy that...
The starter was in working order but rough cosmetically and around the edges when I removed it. Had it rebuilt by local master at his trade. Told him to go through and replace/rebuild anything that showed any sort of wear or would wear out in the years to come.
Brand New: OEM field casing/yoke...
So, there are times when I crank my 100 and.... I release the ignition too soon, it happens. I then re-crank and it turns over and she sounds like a jalopy. It kind of does that like clunk engine sound and then cranks over. Honestly I don't think much of it, but today, today was different. I...
For my 2001 LX470.
I'm about to buy a set of these:

But what AWG is required? I think the 20 ft ones would be more useful, and then I'm looking at a voltage drop calculator:

But I don't...
My starter failed. Prior to failing, my engine would typically fire to life after engaging the starter for maybe half a second, to perhaps a full second.
I replaced the starter, and as part of the process replaced various gaskets, knock sensors, and coolant sensor (not sure if at all related)...
