Hello eveyone,
I have recently bought a FJ60 2H 1986 and am having some issues with starting.
After i let the plugs heat up and turn the key over it takes more than 30 seconds for the engine to start. It is a slow coughing start but eventually I get there.
This is in cold weather (15 to -10C) never had the opportunity to start it in hotter conditions yet.
Once it runs it runs great and easily starts up again so it is just cold start that is the problem.
I have put some injector cleaner in the tank and that helped a bit by cutting down the starting time by maybe 15 sec.
If I charge the batteries overnight that also does a big difference the first time after a charge but it quickly goes back to the initial problem. And the batteries are fairly healthy. The indicator is about 2/3 from full.
I am wondering if there is anything else other than the batteries I should check to make the starting more efficient. I am pretty new to this stuff but feel that at this rate I will burn something out by starting it this way.
