Hello!
Got a question for you! I've talked on here before of the old land cruiser a friend gave me. It's a '93 80 series with 460,000 miles on it. It ran great when I brought it home, other than a high idle. I gutted the interior (as it was repulsive), pulled the battery tray and air box to further investigate the condition of everything. I needed to move it this last weekend and when I got her all put back together (mechanically), she won't turn over.
Here's a link to a video I recorded of the sound it'll make when I try to crank it, if it helps.
The battery is good (brand new!), I just put some fresh fuel in it. I did crack the air hose connecting the mass air flow sensor and the intake manifold, but I used another piece I had from another project that fits pretty well to make do for now (just to seal it up), so I figured that would be good enough for moving it 50 feet.
I haven't dismantled anything involving the engine other than removing and reinstalling the air box and the battery tray. Any idea what I should check to diagnose this issue? At least enough to get to it run a little bit? Next year I'll have some extra money and I can begin digging into this thing. I plan to pull the engine and give it a thorough clean up, but I just need to get it "good enough" for now.
Any ideas?
