When my engine is cold I have no brakes assist, it’s bloody scary. Feels like it’s almost impossible to get the car to pull up but I don’t believe it’s anything to do with the brake booster, I have a FZJ80 Aussie spec and the same day the brakes stopped working properly the engine also started...
1991 FJ80 with 245,000mi. My issue was present before and after I recently did my injectors. When idling for a minute or 2 the engine starts to misfire, lope, and generally "run rough". A quick press on the go pedal will make the engine run correct for about 5 seconds then run poorly again after...

and not just chunks, but small stones: Hard, abrasive, iron oxide rocks.
I thought I'd share something new I just learned about the lowly EGR cooler.
The cast iron EGR coolers can internally rust to the point that they'll eventually cough out disturbingly sized chunks of rust "stones" that...
Ok, well I'm not sure if it was an effect of replacing my smog pump with a pulley but my 86' is not running so hot or more specific the idle is to low-stalls out, and it diesels, well it always dieseled but I'm curious if there are things one should be aware of before you pull a smog pump. Note...
