starter

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...

need suggestions/help please! I've read several dozen threads and tried lots of things - hopefully the solution is something easy background: 97 40th fzj80, with 183k. ive owned it for the last 20,000 miles or so, and it has always been a reliable starter- no previous issues. The truck was...

Howdy y'all! A few days ago I went to try to start my car (it's my daily, probably sat for a day?), had power and everything, I went to turn the key and nothing. No click, power is gone, no sound. So I look up some stuff saying it could be a starter problem so I get parts to replace within...

Hi all, I am on a slow baseline of a new to me truck (details in signature) that is parked for the winter where I have a chance to work on it every 2 weeks. Well, I changed the fusible links and put in a new battery last week but a starting issue remains Here's a video: 19_0218_nostart.MOV I...

Hi everyone, I am a long time reader of the forums and finally decided to come to you, the experts with a problem that has plagued me for well over a year now. I have a 2000 Hilux Surf 1KZ-TE diesel (KZN185), roughly 240,000km on the block I rebuilt the engine about 3 years ago after some...

I replaced my starter on my 09 LC as a precaution and now getting the old starter rebuilt at a local alternator/starter repair shop. I ordered a new solenoid when I ordered the new OEM starter from Toyota and took them to the repair shop. I just got a call from the shop saying he could not...
