starter

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...

no loss of power from battery and rig periodically doesn’t start. No clicking on starter. Then randomly it will start without any issue and will do so for days, then once again won’t start. I replaced the fusable link. The first time i tried to start it the rig briefly started to turn over...

I took my ’85 fj60 to a tire/brake shop today to have a flat checked to see if it could be repaired. I handed them my keys for them to drive it around never guessing they’d force my ‘86 Camry key that was on the same ring into the ignition, turn it with pliers and burn out my starter. When they...

I have a 199 LX 470 with approximately 220,000 miles. In looking at common failure points to address potentially before they occur, I am looking at the starter and the brake booster pump as they are my two biggest unknowns. I have the online dealer history and the last entry I see from...

Hello! New here. Have a 99 Cruiser. Probably 50% of the time I start my cruiser the starter grinds right as it fires up. Almost like the bendix isn’t retracting all the way on the starter. It’s not an easy swap to replace starter, just curious if anyone else has had this issue?

I was away for 6 months and my girlfriend was using my HJ 60. One day, while at the dentist or something, it wouldn't start when she got back out. She had a few guys try to get it going, but couldn't, so she had it towed to a house where it could be parked until I got back in the country. I...

Recently inherited a 78 FJ40 that my father in law rebuilt many years ago. Having no experience outside of oil changes I’ve been learning on the job over the last couple weeks and have sorta become obsessed. Finally got it running and some working brakes (master cylinder and a brake line)...

Nothing wrong with it- just upgraded as part of my partial rebuild project. Owned for 2 years and never had an issue with it. Came off an ‘85 model. Asking $150 plus shipping or local pick-up.

Hey just bought this after my other took a crap. Everything is correct, but this cable. What is it? Will it still work because the other didn’t have it.

Last week my LC stopped starting out of the blue, and it definitely took me by surprise. Like, it cranked relatively slow compared to the rapid fire cranks I hear from newer cars, but it would still start reliably every time under 3 seconds ever since I bought it a month ago. I thought it...

Hi all, mud has been such a lifesaver (longtime lurker here) so I'm hoping to get some help on my issue. My 2002 LC (230k miles) didn't start one day. It ran wonderfully before this. I replaced the starter myself (turns out the pinion gears were completely jammed). It starts and cranks like a...

Greetings, I have noticed that the my starter is not responding for several attempts especially in the morning. Then after several attempts it picks and starts the engine without problems. During the attempts the only single sound from the starter is the contacts sound of the ignition to the...

FJ60 parts. Shoot me an offer and what you need. Might be willing to ship. We can talk.

Hi all, I installed a 12Volt Solutions remote starter with the iPhone app add-on a few weeks ago on my 2021 HE LC. Worked fine on both the key fob and my app. Doors lock, unlock, start, the works. Some background for full disclosure. Got the truck back from the dealer the other day. They were...

Hey guys, Long time lurker, first time poster. I just replaced the starter on my 1994 fzj80 with an aftermarket one. (2.2kw version, thanks AC Delco!) but when removing my old one I started thinking it might be worth keeping the old one for a rebuild if it's still an OEM one. Problem is the...

My ‘84 FJ60 starter started not starting recently. Not a click, not a sound. Quiet like the night before Christmas. After some research I found that the old hit-it-with-a-hammer technique brought it back to life. But I didn’t want to carry around a hammer all the time. It seemed I either needed...

Alright. So as things have been getting hotter Ive been running into some starting issues. Trying to fix this I bought a new battery. Replaced the alternator. Thinking the battery wasnt charged up enough to get a proper start. Following these fixes though it seems like it has more difficulty...

I installed a new starter and connected it according to the online reference that I found, CENTER TO POWER and S SIDE (the little bolt on the right hand side) TO THE SMALL WIRE, LEAVING THE OTHER CONNECTOR EMPTY (the little bolt on the left hand side) *see picture. I started the truck (1993...

Hi forum.. as the title states.. I have a strange issue when it comes to starting the truck. As you can see in the video.. I turn the key and nothing happens. No sounds at all. On the 4th try, it starts up just fine. This has been happening for the last 2 months approx.. Last week I...

I had a starting issue that has happened twice already and left me stranded in a parking lot both times for 30 minutes. I am thinking that it could be the starter giving me issues, because I had replaced it with a re-manufactured Denso 2kW starter around 4 years ago when the starter was...
