troubleshooting

Hello wise FJ lovers, I would like your help diagnosing some strange problems with my 1976 FJ40 Here they are: When first turning over, the starter spins slower, then gets faster the longer it spins. This may take a couple 5-10 second cranks, with the starter spinning faster and faster the more...

I just picked up my Toyota 1987 extended cab SR5 22r last month and drove it from Arizona to Kentucky. I took it out hill climbing and mudding for about 5hours. Was in 4wd and 3rd gear going fast over some mud and the engines rpm was going up without me pushing on the gas and in neutral so I...

Picked up a beauty 69 Scout 800. Immaculate condition when I got her, body and engine. Turned the ignition one day to take her for a cruise and it rotated enough in the column to rip two wires off. Whoever did the wiring when they put the new engine in didn’t have any thing labeled as to what...

Recently, my cruiser has been idling very rough. It will stay around 700 RPM, and then suddenly drop to about 200 RPM and nearly stall. Has anyone had trouble with this before? What do I do?

my rig: 96 lx450, 181k, I bought my 96 lx a little under a year ago. I’ve noticed over that time the windows have loosened up (rattle when not fully up, sliding out of the track about 1/8th in.). Wondering if anyone has restore these; replacing clips/brackets, updating mechanics, replacing...

Hi guys. I’ve continued to have trouble with my idle on start up from cold. It’s a 94 1fz fe. I’ll give a little background which may help a bit. It was running fine until one day my vaf meter door blew open and jammed, ever since then I’ve had idle issues. on first start up the idle the engine...

I've been in Colorado for about 2 months and had some trouble starting it on cold mornings, after letting it warm up on the block heater for a couple hours, the batteries are not holding a charge when they get cold, so I've been jump starting it with my school bus and that worked fine for a few...

My 60 is finally something I can drive everyday. The next thing for me to try and fix is the A/C. The PO said it used to work. 1. A/C does not light up when pressed. 2. A/C fuse under the dash is not blown 3. Fan works 4. A mechanic showed me the compressor still works when he gave power to the...

Have been getting this every 3 weeks or so now, since weather changed. So lets get some background info for a real diagnostic flow. Questions first, reasons why next. Did the no-start happen at the start of summer/winter ? Do you leave the blower fan on then? Do you have all speeds on your...

85 FJ60 6cyl. (manual only?) Happened at end of August, then again today. Went to start in a.m., it turned over once and died. No choke, it was only 45 last nite.... Tried the first trick, pushing it, and jamming into gear. No love, and now in a dip. Tapping solenoid and starter. Now radio...

Hello hello from Switzerland, I just got this beautiful troopy HZJ75 from 1999 with 200'000km on a 1HZ engine 4.2 D without a turbo. My problem : I have this kind of subtle hiccup power loss that becomes very distinct just around the happy cruising rpm zone. The only way to drive is by going...

I upgraded to slcFJ62's wiring harness and all was well for a few years. Then recently I noticed that the center two hi beams on my 62 had blown a fuse in his custom fuse box. Trouble shooting wasn't going well so I pulled the entire custom harness out. Before directing my attention to his...

Wanted to start a new thread as I'm not sure if the old Saginaw thread is getting a lot of views. Finally!!!! Saginaw PS pump conversion kit for FJ60s!!!!! So a little back story decided to replace my PS pump and put in the Saginaw conversion. Install went smoothly no issues however on the...

I'm a relatively new 96' FZJ80 owner and it's my first post here so excuse please excuse me being a complete novice. My brakes went spongy/soft suddenly at a stoplight, and if I pump a couple times they firm up (not always), but it doesn't hold and the pedal just slowly sinks to the floor. I...

Hi all, I have seen a lot of posts regarding this issue and very few solutions, so here goes my story / fix on my 1993 LC... Note: This should apply to 1994 and earlier Toyota's with a VAF Meter (not a MAF Sensor). Short Story: Issue: Hesitation / Stumbling whenever (could be cold, hot, city...

About four years ago I installed an IBS-DBS from Sierra Expeditions. (As some have pointed out this particular system is far more expensive than other systems out there but I pulled the trigger on it anyway. That is not what this thread is about.) I installed it in my UZJ-100 without issue. It...

Does anyone know what's going on here? It was doing this for a few days, along with a high idle (1000 rpm in park, 750 when stopped in drive), but then it quit and idled perfectly for like two weeks. Now it's back, along with the high idle. I know that at least one O2 sensor is bad (checked...

Hey all, so thing's i must mention is that when i got from Reverse to Drive and on and off the gas there is quite a noticeable clunk noise, had a play with the front driveshaft and it appears as though there is a fair bit of play within the front diff. Have a video i can hopefully upload of the...

Well, I'm back on the forum with more problems as per the usual. ;) As an update for those who have been helping me out here on mud, THE FJ40 IS RUNNING! :cheers: Here's a picture of her for the sake of having pictures...pretty ain't she? haha SPECS: '76 2F Motor THE SCOOP: So the...
