HI All , Ive got me an 84 chev g20 van into which Ive just installed 92 or so 80 series running gear in it, including axles, 1HDT and hydro A442F. I got then thing running on the weekend and for whatever reason it wont fire at all when cold, a quick shot of ether and it lights straight up and...

I've got a ton of blue smoke when I start my 75' Hj45. Stalls out and I start it again...takes a while for it to settle down and smooth out...runs fine after about 10-15 minutes. Injectors? Fuel pump? Any suggestions on where to begin?

Gooday Gents, Rebuilt engine project is coming to finishing point and ready to take it on the road. been using shop tools at work, and have 1 screwdriver to my name. If anyone has some decent sets of wrenches / sockets breaker bar, hand tools etc etc up for sale I'd be interested. And, if you...

I have a problem when starting, and it's not your typical starting problem. I don't even know how you'd categorize it. I have a 2000 LC100 with 270k miles on it. It starts every time, but recently it's begun to do this thing where when I start it there is a delay of the dash warning lights...

I just picked up my first FJ60 a few weeks ago. I am an inexperienced mechanic by all accounts so am using this as a steep learning curve to build some basic knowledge. I have read much of the FAQ and plan to utilize that for some basic gasket replacement and fluid changes. In the initial...

Hello everyone My 1hz does not start or starts weak when it is hot.But it starts rapidly when it is cold. Fuel system (timing), the battery or what?

Hi. Since I got my 2004 LX470 last year, it has been hard-starting frequently, EXCEPT during cold start. It usually happens when you use the car and park for more than 30 minutes. Here are some videos:

I have this strange intermittent problem. Only has happened twice in the last month. On a cold start. The engine fires up, runs rough, all warning lights are on. I turn key off. Start again and runs normal ?.. I suspect maybe the ignition switch. I recently replaced the battery. Never...

Mechanic has identified Igniter as the culprit of not starting. Are there two parts inside that housing, or is it all one part? Alternatives if its not available?

2lt, mech pump. As it's getting colder out I'm noticing when I crank the engine over, as soon as it catches it revs up for a second then drops down to itd normal idle. Like if you blipped the throttle accidentally. This is the first time I've seen this, doesn't happen all the time, only if...

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,

My daughter has my 2000 LC100 at school (3.5 hours away). She called bc the 100 wouldn't start. On a video call, I can see/hear the following: No dash or interior lights working. No crank or clicking when trying to start. Battery read @ 12.5 volts. EFI Relay Bypass Kit Installed and 20 amp...

hi, I own a 96 kzj78 and wondering if anyone has had any issues with extreme vibrating/shaking at starting vehicle. Thanks in advance

My son-in-law has a '91 that has been experiencing starting problems with hot weather. He was initially having issues with the EFI relay which seem to have been resolved. The symptoms are in the afternoon on hot days the indicator lights are normal, the engine cranks but won't fire. He's...

Working on my 93 resurrection project. The truck sat in the woods for 4 years and I now have it running and stopping, however when you put the shifter in D, the truck is starting off in either 3rd or 4th gear. If I shift to 2, it'll start in second. Shift to 1, starts in first. You can...

2013 Land Cruiser w/ 150K miles. No modifications or changes in the last 2 years, but vehicle has dual battery set up, aux lights, winch, etc. Have a strange issue that started 2 months ago. Truck unlocks with key fob, get in, press brake, push the start button, everything lights up, A/C comes...

(Toypta 3b)When I go to turn the key I can't hear fuel pump (like I usually can) and the engine is reluctant to start and will stop if im not giving any throttle. I tried to take the fuel filter thing off but am not sure how to take it off. Any ideas on either? Cheers

Hello, all- it has been a while since I've been around; life gets pretty busy as you all know. Looking for some help (again!) :bang: Background: Washed the engine compartment, as it was truly filthy. Tried to be careful, as I know I have an issue with something getting wet under the hood that...

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...
