It’s the big day. FJ has been parked since pre-covid but I’m bringing her back to life!
To my amazement, she fired up after two starter chugs and idled like a champ despite blowing out settled rust and cobwebs.
BUT she’s got a starter issue… sometimes she starts, sometimes she doesn’t.
So ordered a remanufactured 3F starter through eBay and after a fight and some choice words, managed to pull the original for a comparison.
Will report back when new one is in and hopefully the world is a better place (for me) with an FJ that actually starts when you turn the key!
