starting issues

All the questions about filters. Got that sorted and Thanks! I now have a slightly bigger issue. First, I have been using the Donkey quite frequently - made to run and not sit around, right. Noticed a couple of weird starting issues. A bit of chattering when going from glow plug warmup to...

So, after quite a struggle, I've installed the new Warn winch and it works just fine. But then - the Cruiser won't start. All the lights, A/C, radio etc but not turning over. Check fuses. Can't find obvious problem. Passenger foot well fuse box pic attached. Engine bay fuse box pic attached...

Hey All, I’m a 17yr old with no clue on a lot of stuff but am trying to learn, I have a 1989 hj75 with a 2H and my car has had a lot of trouble starting, putting out big white clouds (assuming unburnt diesel) so I have concluded it’s the glow plugs. After looking under the hood at the buzz bar...

Having issues with starting and keeping the truck running. Have diagnosed that the ICS is failing and wondered if anyone along the route home from Solid Axle Summit might have a spare I can buy from them. Headed out today and will be traveling W on I-70 to S on I-15 stopping in the Zion Area...

I have an FJ62 and occasionally it just doesn't start. When I turn the key, I hear a "click" but the starter motor doesn't crank and nothing happens (the electrical system does come on). I got a brand new starter installed but the issue persists. A few other things I've noticed about it: 1. It...

My72 fj40 will not start. It did start after winter storage but would run maybe on 4 cylinders. I came our of it after a short time. This actually started last fall before I put it in storage. Once the engine was warmed up , it would start and run fine. Now it will not start. It did briefly ...

Hi, I'm a relative newbie to FJs (also current owner of LR4 and Vanagon...) and have been having a tough time getting my 85 FJ60 to run. It had been running very smoothly up until a few months ago (actually preferred this in the snow to the LR4) and then one day just wouldn't start easily at...

I have a 95 FZ80 that will not start. This started back a couple weeks ago. We thought it was the fuel pump, because it was running, and when it was shut off, it would crank but not fire. Replaced the pump & still won't fire. Have since done dist cap, wires, plugs, new battery, FPR and EFI...

My FJ Cruiser has developed an alarming intermittent starting failure. It is a manual, a 6 speed. I mention this because it may (or may not) be pertinent. I've recently recovered Bonnie from three years foster custody in NC. She was doing some Burning Man work and being cared for by a friend...

For quite some time now, the 3b in my 84 bj60 takes a while to start. In order to start my truck first thing in the day, I turn my key and my glow light comes on for a second, then I have to wait approx. 60 seconds for the glow relay to shut off, then I can turn my key and start the truck. If...

So i'm having a bad time starting my 1985 3b motor. It takes about 30 to 40 seconds of cranking and when it eventually starts there's a loud knocking noise from the motor but immediately stops. The idle speed and acceleration vibration is immense and does not ease even at temp. Also there's a...
