1998 1st check engine light

[Emcd]

the Lc has 130k, the car started to idle rough and the check engine light flashes. Oil pressure is good so is temp. TB was changed at 95k. I'm thinking coil/s?

Probably a coil, take the cruiser to an auto parts store and have them read the codes.

Ha, I saw th thread right after I posted. Does the code tell me which coil? I've never done it before, is it straight forward?

 

[stinkyfj60]

Yes, it does... and you should buy an OBDII...

I went through a couple of coils last year: https://poetryoverland.wordpress.co...n-to-the-story-of-the-misfiring-land-cruiser/

Thanks guys. I'll take it to autozone tomorrow for some diagnostics readings.

Sounds like a coil.

Yes it will

Is there a FAQ on spark plug replacement? I've done it my cuda, but never on the 100

it's the same as any other vehicle except the coil packs.... Unplug the coil packs (it's just a tab on each one--be gentle with them), there is one bolt that holds each one in--remove that and then pull them straight out. Pull the plugs...

Oh, and have fun with the ones closest to the fire wall
