starting

Hi all 5 days before headed to Moab with the 100 series pulling a popup and my family of 6.... and I'm trying to chase down an intermittent start issue. I've searched the forum quite a bit and have trouble shot several items with no sustained success. Truck has 208K on the clock and I...

FJ40 Stalling I have a 1975 40, The problem is that it is stalling while I drive and it will start when the key is all the way forward and the starter is engaged, as soon as i let go of the key and let it return to run, it stalls. See video above in the link above. Thanks. Yes Finally...

I was hoping to get some advice/guidance on a starting problem I am having on my 1975 Fj40. It has a 2f engine and a desmoged carburetor from a 1978 fj40. It idles, revs with little to no hesitation and drives great! However, whenever I try and start it cold or after it is plenty warmed up...

I have a 1995 Landcruiser (FJZ80?). It wouldn't start tonight, it just made a quick clicking noise. The interior dome light and alarm worked, so maybe not the battery. Anyhow, I tried to use a portable jumpstarter and it didn't make a difference. After trying to jumpstart it, I noticed a loose...

So I bought an FJ 40 as a retirement project, I have yet to figure out how to retire so I’m starting on it anyway. Here is my issue. It has the stock F2, with a Weber carb on it. I added the Man a Fre adapter so I can run a stock air cleaner. Once it starts, it runs great! Problem is it takes...

1979 Bj40 with 3B engine. Key will not rotate backwards to “glow” position and glow light does not appear to illuminate. So 1) starting procedure? 2)how to check/change glow light? 3)should glow light come on with the push button? Thanks for the help!

Hey everyone, having a starting issue with the 80 and looking for some help. It is a 1993 HDJ80 with a 5 speed, euro spec. Here is the sequence of events: Had an abnormally cold day here (around 5 degrees F), drive to work fine, went to start after work and barely cranked and wouldn’t start...

Have a 2000 LX with 215k. Started it and it immediately died. Tryed restarting and it would only click. AAA came and jumped it and it started easily but would not idle. They said the alternator checked ok. After reving the engine for a few minutes it finally started idling on its own. I drove...

Pulling this 60 out of the pile and into the garage next door. Rust bucket, but she runs good. I’ll be pulling the engine and the axles and mating them up to a 1970 fj40 frame. Excited to have time again to wrench.

Greetings, I have a 76K20 Chevrolet pickup truck with a 350 engine 4spd trans that the ignition switch is broken that I would like to try to get running. What happened is the ignition became jammed and it would not turn. I have started to disassemble the steering column to replace the actual...

Hey all, I have a 2001 LC with 318,000 miles. Have owned for 4 years now and never had any issues with the Transmission. Over the past few weeks, I have had an intermittent issue when cold starting (seems to happen more when it has been sitting for a few days). I crank it and place it in...

I will be firing up my 1HZ powered LC after a little over two years of sitting in the garage. What fuse or fuel line I need to disconnect to preventing it from starting the engine? I want the engine oil to circulate inside the engine before it starts. Thanks!

I turn the key to start......wait a few seconds.....then, most of the time, it starts. After it runs and stops, sometimes 1, 3 or 4 or 30 tries and it starts. Maybe it's worse when it's humid. I just don't understand the time delay. I am replacing the starter again. Sometimes a jump start...

Hey guys, I have a 1991 land cruiser with about 147,000 miles. I usually drive it about once a week recently it was sitting for about 10 days before I could get a chance to start it. Before it sat for 10 days it was driving just fine. I went to start it, but it kept cranking over and over…...

I have a 2004 4Runner Sport Edition and a couple weeks ago my traction control, brake light and a few other lights in that area all came on. Less than 20 minutes later my car lost all power and stalled. I put a booster pack on it and it seemed to be fine. Then today it happened again. Turned the...

My FJ80 started randomly not starting. When the key is turned there is one loud click but doesn't start. I can hear the fuel injectors pumping fuel in. Battery is fine, spark plugs are fine. I'm guessing starter but with one loud click and no other noise I'm not for sure. Typically if I would...

LC200 2013 v8 Starting hesitation - intermittent crank specially when cold started

Experiencing a problem with my 80 – it shuts off right after starting. Key in, engine starts, RPMs rise, then drop within 2-3 seconds. Explored potential issues; leaning towards the Air Flow Meter. Checked EFI Main relay and fuel pump resistor – both seem to be good. Noticed the car stays...

Just got a 'new' (for me to play with) 1989 LJ73 from Spain imported through a dealer in Orlando. 118k miles, no rust, all original stuff. Engine looks pretty clean except for a few wet spots left rear near oil filter and under turbo. I sprayed degreaser to clean and dry off areas to see where...
