timing

I've been driving my 2L around with the timing set to 0.94mm. Power is about what you can expect, need to gear down to take hills, black smoke if I bog down or floor it. I've been needing to use the glow plugs in 30C weather so I figured i'd set the timing again. I set the static timing to the...

Hi all I understand the typical service schedule to replace TB is about 100K. And from searching I do see some talk about age as well. But not sure how many years would be recommended to change. I guess storage condition would factor in. My new to me '99 LC 100 has a bit over 100k miles. 113k I...

I wanted to know if there were any 3VZE experts out there who could help me diagnose and fix a timing issue with my 89 4runner. I just wrapped up a rebuild of the top end since what started out to be a somewhat simple timing belt job turned into tearing down the intake all the way down to the...

I recently did a head gasket job on my 2007 FJC. Does anyone know what my timing advance should be at idle? My OBDII reader says its at 20 deg right now and it seems to be running slightly rough right now. It's idling at 950 RPM. I'm having a hard time finding anywhere online that states this...

Hi, Second attempt at understanding what is going on here. I'd like to hear toughts as to how it is possible for the timing marks on the crankshaft and the injection pump pulleys to not match up at TDC yet the engine still run? Crankshaft pulley offset? Injection pump pulley offset? Timing...

Selling my LX470. I just purchased this recently to build into my camping vehicle but a change in priorities has me focusing on other projects. So this has to go, along with my 80 series so I can finish other projects. It's been a good truck to me so far, I just drove it to LA and back without...

As per the usual arrangement, of course I can't have any peace during christmas. Coming back 2 nights ago from christmas shopping with the family, front A/C on, rear A/C on, high beams on, horn working, and then suddenly the car starts the dreaded "low voltage" beeping, center console TV starts...

I have searched far and wide on how to properly set the timing on the injector pump of my 1984 2L diesel. I have yet to put the motor in the truck but when painting the motor, I failed to mark the exact rotation of the pump. I just put it back in completely centered, but I am not sure if that's...

hey guys, first timer doing a timing adjustment on my dads old '97 landcruiser. its been running pretty well, but had a feeling timing needed an adjustment. had been following instructions here but hit a snag: i hooked everything up, following the timing adjustment instructions from another...

Im getting this clacking noise from my engine when I accelerate in 3rd or 4th gear. Please note as the title says I have a 2FE. Its the Fuel injection system of an 4.0L FJ62 on a 4.2L FJ60. I have all the electronics from the FJ62, no vacuum advance like the FJ60. I just replaced my DIZZY...

Having issues getting my 1985 FJ60 to start. I had problems in 2019 with spongy breaks so I replaced the brake booster in Sept that year with great results. I was driving it weekly and then one day in Oct 2019 it just wouldn't start. I wasn't getting a spark and due to work and other...

Ok so a bit of a confusing one but I’d better put it out there coz I feel like a numpty atm I have a 1990 hzj75 ute I blew the motor I bought a 1hz from a 1994 80 series I switched over the injector pumps because the one I bought was ****ed thinking they would be the same or at least the same...

I have a 74 FJ40 that wont run and if I can get it to run it idles really rough and wont let me accelerate to higher rpms without dying or backfiring. It is acting like it jumped time but is that even possible with timing gears? I can turn the crank a significant amount before the rotor in the...

I bought my 1994 FZJ80 about two months ago. Previous owner thought he threw a bearing therefore needed a motor swap. He provided a 'running' replacement 1fz-fe in the price. I knowingly bought it as a project and a learning opportunity. I haven't run into any roadblocks swapping the motors in...

Replaced my timing belt/water pump this weekend. Also replaced the fan bracket but the old one is dirty but still in excellent shape. Brand new I paid over $200 from Toyota. If anyone needs it, $50 picked up from Norwalk 90650.

Hey All, I am trying to get my FJ60 air tight (Proven to be a headache and a half) and think I have finally done it. I hooked up my smoke tester and all seals seem to be doing their jobs. But, when I crank over the engine and get it up to temp, I am only seeing 14 inHG on the intake manifold...

Managed to pick up a new genuine Toyota tool for setting injector pump timing on 1hz and 1hdt motors. Is there a specific type of dial indicator required to go with it or just any one that has the right thread and scaling? Thanks, craig.

I recently picked up my first 80 and for once in my life, did so without having the previous owner smog it. It's a single owner, 94, with 80k miles and had passed smog every 2 years as expected. I took it in and it passed with flying colors except for the timing. For some reason, when we...

I've spent a couple hours searching for an answer to my question. I hate to ask (because I'm sure it's already been answered), but I can't find the answer, so here goes. #1. I'm attempting to set the timing on my '73 F engine. My flywheel has the metal ball, but no other timing marks. I...

Struggling to find a FSM for a FZJ105 4.5L I6 gasoline without distributor. I think I have a timing issue and my mechanic has been unable to solve it. All I can find are manuals for the V8 100 series or the I6 80 series with distributor. Following a head gasket install, I am overheating and...
