starting issue

Calling all FJ62 or 3FE Experts I have an 1989 FJ62 that is having some weird issues. The 62 has been pulling daily duties for almost 2 months now with no issues. Over weekend I worked on doing the relay mod for the locks. I had some issues with that install but finally got them to work right...

Hello everyone. I have been spying on the forum for some time and have finally decided to jump in. I’m hoping someone has had a similar issue and will be able to help. I have a 77’ 40 series that belonged to my grandfather. I have some great memories shared with him as a kid bouncing around in...

I replaced the fuel lines in the engine compartment and now starting my LJ77 takes a lot of cranking. I tried the primer but it no longer seems to work. The truck does start every time but I have to crank it for 15 to 30 seconds. What could be the problem? Thanks,

I have an 86 FJ60 with a DUI distributor in it. Been great for a long time. Recently I’ve had it occasionally not want to start. Starter turns over fine but no spark. Also on occasion the horn won’t work. When this happens everything else works, the fan, lights, guages, radio etc. When I check...

Still working on my 10 year (so far) refresh project. If I connect both amp gauge wires together (bypassing the gauge) the motor fires right up. If I hook up the two wires to the gauge the motor will not crank and the amp gauge needle buries to discharge. The gauge also started to smoke...

I have a 1996 LX450 that decided to stop starting up. I replaced the starter because I was having issues with it. But, that wasn't the fix. I noticed sometimes, that I have to hold the ignition key in the START position for a while before it would start. But now, it just doesn't turn over...
