startup

Hi guys, I'm 26 and my 85 fj60 is my daily. (haven't been able to daily it in 2.5 years....lol) Coming off a huge rebuild process and now having starting issues with the starter/ignition. I get a click the first crank, then nothing. The starter gradually starter sounding weaker and weaker. I...

I'm getting close to starting my rebuilt F 145 for the first time. The head was resurfaced with new valves and the cam was reground by Delta in Tacoma, WA, plus reground crank new bearing, rings, etc. I'm wondering what I should set my valves at cold before starting so that when I break in the...

Hi! I have a 2001 LC100 with about 165k. 5-10 seconds after start up, especially when the vehicle is cold, I am notice a particularly noxious exhaust smell in the cabin that has a little bit of a diesel exhaust smell (perhaps there is oil pooing in a cylinder as the vehicle sits). It seems to...

Hello, I have a 1977 FJ40 pretty much all stock 41,000 original mile with 2F with California emissions (smog pump). I have recently acquired the vehicle and notice on startup when I pump the gas 2-3 times, pull choke to full and turn the key. My 40 won’t start immediately it cranks for a few...

I have a 95 HDJ81 with the 1HD-FT. Recently, she's decided not to start after sitting for a long while (usually overnight). Pumping the accelerator while cranking will finally get her going. 24V starter is strong (replaced ~40K km ago by PO) and cranks hard as long as the batteries will hold...

Hey yo, My 2000 LX470 makes a sort of low groaning sound on start up that goes away in around 2-3 seconds. Been happening since I got the car. Consistently always makes the sound when starting up warm or cold. Car seems to run and operate just fine, so I dont know if it is a major concern but it...

So Guys I LOVE my FJ40 but VERY frustrated with my Intermittent Startup issues - hope you can help. A bit about my FJ40 - New Batery, Cables, Sparkplugs, Startup coil (Internal Resistor). - Stock Carb (to my knowledge) - Stock Distributor (to my knowledge) - Has the Evaporative Emissions...

Hi, I bought a well-worn 1994 Land Cruiser four days ago and I don't have a factory manual yet, so pardon the basic questions. What is a normal fast-idle RPM, starting up cold, on a moderately cold day? Say, 40°F. How quickly does it drop to the (I think) 650 RPM regular idle? And does it...

I have an '05 100 series that has been pretty solid. It started up fine this morning, but I saw something on the screen right after starting I had never seen before. It was a message with a picture of a cd/dvd disc and a bar graph that worked its way across the screen over a few seconds. The...

1996 with 185k. Put on a new exhaust (magnaflow from engine and then Bosal system from the magnaflow back. New O2 sensors as well. Has a strong fuel smell at startup but otherwise runs fine. No check engine light. Is there a temp sensor that might need to be replaced? Thanks in advance.

I am beginning to see a recurring issue during ignition on my 88 FJ 62. The first start up of the day, the engine stumbles while igniting. It eventually gets there though. No problems while running at all. Throughout the rest of the day other start ups seem to be fine. May stumble after long...
