timing

80 Series Tech, I need some assistance. I recently replaced my distributor and TPS, and I'm experiencing the following: 1. Low idle. Idling at around 400-500RPM 2. When setting the timing, I let the car warm up and then jump the TE1 and E1 terminals, and oddly enough the timing DOES NOT...

Hello all! I’ve recently encountered a 2000 100 series Land Cruiser with 277k Miles that I’m considering getting. Pros: Owner would trade for my old honda (my secondary car) Engine Idles Smooth Drives smooth Hardly any rust Paint in excellent shape Cons: Carfax history ends at 248k Miles I...

My 94 FZJ80 idles very low and dies off after warming up. Over the weekend I did the typical replacements oil pump gasket, and FMS, was going to do the dizzy O-ring however after discovering that the oil was coming from the actual inside of the shaft, opted not to. Also replaced all three V...

Hello everyone! I have a 2009 Land Cruiser GXR V8 (4.7 2UZ-FE, Qatari spec) that hit 150k km recently and I was advised to do the timing belt change. A friend recommended an independent garage that's run by ex-toyota employees and mechanics. The mechanic checked the vehicle and said there's a...

So I actually have questions on both my trucks, as I've never been able to advance my timing beyond 7-10deg BTDC. However, I'm going to avoid questions on the properly running truck at the moment and concentrate on the FJ40 that just suddenly decided to not run right. Quick backstory, I've done...

I have a HZJ76 I bought about a year ago in West Africa, so its history is largely unknown. It has been running well, but the other day I had a semi-professional mechanic change the timing belt for me as a routine exercise in engine damage prevention. Later that day, I noticed that a strange...

I posted this on the GX470 board but they suggested I also post it here because of the deeper knowledge base of the 2uzfe motor... Okay, so my mechanic friend was helping me with my 2006 GX470 (190k mi). We agreed that he would do the CV axles and that was fine. I needed the water pump (leaking...

Okay, so my mechanic friend was helping me with my 2006 GX470 (190k mi). We agreed that he would do the CV axles and that was fine. I needed the water pump (leaking a lot) and timing belt (way past due) changed. He suggested that we tear it down to the head gasket and get the heads cleaned up. I...

Hi gentlemen, Good news and bad news. (scroll down for TLDR) THE GOOD: I think I stopped the intake gasket leak. Did a smoke test with the carb taken off and taped the top of the intake shut. It was an old machine so not sure how much PSI I was gunning in there but seemed moderate compared to...

Going after the timing cover gaskets and seal and trying to scope the job. Can I do it with the radiator installed if I pull the fan and shroud? Will the balancer puller fit in the space? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Bob

No problem here

I finally got my 1FZFE motor from the rebuild shop and installed in the 93 LC (gas). Identified some leftover bolts thanks to all the input from this forum, and cranked it up. It ran ok despite a high idle so I left it for the night. Today I tried to set the timing and that's when I hit a wall...

Hi all Just trying to find when my timing belt was done / is due and can’t seem to find any information There is however a Japanese sticker that says replace every 100,000 It’s 25 years old with no history prior to import and has 71k on the odomiter Would I need to change the belt...

So I’m in process of changing my timing chain, however the new timing chain kit that I ordered has different guides. The car is a 1994 fzj80. My question is will this fit and why is it different, maybe Mr T upgraded the design over the years?🤔 by the way, left guides are old ones and to the...

Hey guys - finally went ahead a did a “rebuild” on my 2f carb. The float valve was sticking amongst other things. I put carb back on and similar symptoms - idle fuel pulling through Venturi. I read in the forum to blow out the idle circuit, likely blocked (with compressed air and carb cleaner)...

Hi All, I recognize there are many threads about this, but none that I've found seem to answer enough. I'm in the process of putting my motor back together, and when torquing the timing cover to what the service manual calls out, it pushed the gasket out. As other threads have suggested, I...

I recently had a coolant leak due to the PO taking the cruiser to a shop for the TB job and they didn't replace the O-ring at the water pump... sigh. However, for Christmas this year, I got an early present! IH*MUD to the rescue! Through the many of you who have gone down these roads...

Hello mudders, I am working on developing a trans control harness and tune for my 1993 USDM 80 series so I can use a Haltech standalone ECU. I have been able to successfully map A34x series transmissions in Tacomas and for the most part the A442 (AW450-43LE) looks to function the same really...

Trying to turn shaft to find bb with breaker bar. Can't get to bolt on front by fan.

I've had a DUI distributor sitting on the shelf for quite some time and finally decided to install it. The install went smooth thanks to all of the info I found here on Mud. I turned the key and she fired right up. Seamed to idle smoother than ever. I was stoked! Here are my question(s). I...
