Semi-new FJ40 owner here. I have a 1979 FJ40 with a rebuilt 2F. I've had it for around 4 months and have used it as a daily driver with no issues. Dropped the kids at school yesterday and pulled in the driveway. Went to start it up later in the day and it won't turn over.
I've checked the battery, changed the oil a couple of days prior (not going to prevent it from starting, but figured I'd mention it) , checked fluids, checked cables (distributor) and hoses (vacuum lines, etc.) under the hood and don't see anything loose or out of the ordinary. It cranks, but won't turn over.
My question is where should I start in the process of eliminating parts that may be preventing it from running? I use to own an '85 4runner that I tinkered with, but since then I haven't really worked on an older vehicle.
Any help is appreciated. It makes me sad to just see it sitting in the driveway! Hoping it's a simple fix...
