starting

I've got a 1990 FJ62. Had it for about 8 years and the whole time it's suffered from sporadic ignition issues. I had a brand new starter put in thinking that was the issue but [spoiler alert] it was not. Every now and then, I go to turn the key and I hear a little "click" but the starter motor...

Hi, I had a leak from the rear of the injector pump on the 1KZ-TE. I took off the injector pump and replaced the o rings and put the pump back. The engine started up but it still leaked. I figured it was from the rear valves since I didn't replace the gasket on those. I only wanted to replace...

Hey all I have a 92 surf 2lte. I'm trying to figure out why when i go to start it'll just turn over and not start. I have to pump the pedal a bunch for it to start. I have checked that the injectors are getting fuel and they are. Also the injectors have been replaced. The glow plugs have been...

Hi everyone, I’m new to the FJ40. I’m coming from a 1995 80s series. Any insight into what may be causing my issues is greatly appreciated, as I’m very excited to get my new truck on the road. It’s been very difficult to start, sometimes it fires right up, but most of the time it takes several...

Ok the other day I removed the battery and battery tray to adjust my steering box. When I returned everything back to normal and went to start it this problem occurs. Turn key to acc powers up everything hear clicking. Turn key all the way to start it KILLS ALL POWER until I remove negative...

We turned this FJ60 over for the first time in 4 years yesterday, it has New fuel pump/filter Restored gas tank New fuel lines Professionaly redone carb New coolant lines New vacuum lines Blocked off carb heater Idles like poo, fuel cut off solenoid wont work so we have it bypassed on. Only...

Hi all, 1996 UK spec HDJ80 (1HD-FT) with 24 to 12 volt conversion. It has developed intermittent starting issues after 3 days of constant water crossings and mud in the Central Kalahari a few days ago. Nothing up to bonnet (hood...) level but constant water. Quite regularly this happens...

Hello Mud Family! Question for you all. My FJ60 has trouble starting (sometimes). This issue typically happens when the car has sat for a while but is not always the case. When I crank the motor, I will just hear a click and no cranking. I will have to be very specific with my key turn to...

So here is my starting problem 1. sitting overnight or long enough to cool down - cranks but doesn't start (I can sit and crank it as long as I want) 2. turn ignition off then back on it fires up but the tach shows an electronic stumble right at first (revs jumping around too fast to be real...

Hello fellow mudders. I had a crank but no start issue out of nowhere yesterday. First thought was F***!, the immobilizer issue has struck me! But no, I quickly ruled that out, when I shot some starting fluid into the throtttle body and it started right up....and then died. Not getting fuel. I...

Starting to see an intermittent problem in the way my truck has been starting for the past couple of weeks. The basic issue is that I turn the key over and the engine doesn't attempt to turn over until after a couple of seconds. This happens when the truck is hot or cold and it doesn't seem that...

Just opened lol the air cond./heater,...hope it works well . Some of you will know probably some pros and cons, but its better than I've had...windows down or up lol. Been working on bumper. Something to protect the Oldie 8000 lb Warn winch from the oncoming deer in our area. Other rigs been...

Could really use some guidance. I’ve had an intermittent starting problem for several years. Finally getting serious about fixing it. Truck either cranks up easily, or I get the one click and then nothing. Will usually start after several tries. There have been times when I try approx 20...

Quick question. I have a 24v system (juat one battery). My 24v battery is dead. Can i jump start it using a car with a 12v electrical system? Thanks,

Last year I had a problem with my car - it started turning over during the night and since it was in gear it drove slowly against the handbrake into the fence. It was still trying to push over the fence when I woke. Since then, it has been to the auto elec and they said that they couldn't find...

Not smogged but Iv done a lot of little stuff and some big stuff like carb, hell a lot of stuff thousands so far. Im thinking this is an awesome rig. Im going to install a VW vanagon camper system in the back. (remove rear bench seat, install a single size futon, 12V refregitaor that I got from...

Hi All- I have a 91 FJ80 that has developed a starting hesitation. It first emerged about three months ago and has seems to have worsened gradually to the point that now nearly every start seems to require about 10 seconds of cranking. What I know: The starter is good (with new contacts) and...

After a week and a half of sitting in a garage my HDJ81 is refusing to crank. Everything seems to work normally until I turn the key to the "start" position, when a bunch of relays can be heard clicking but the starter doesn't even try to crank. So far I have tested the following: -Starter...

Right after the engine starts, it drops RPMs and then goes back up again and idles fine. I've only noticed it recently, haven't done much that I suspect would have caused it. Any ideas on what could be the issue? Tried searching but didn't find anything. Thanks everyone

Hello All, Sometimes my 94 doesn't want to start. For instance, I will drive it to work, come out 10 hours later and when I turn the key I get nothing. Pop the hood, shake the battery a little bit and it fires right up. Seems to only happen after I have driven it and let it sit outside. When I...
