Good afternoon Mudders!
My son and I just bought and drove home 2,200 miles a ‘69 FJ55 with a ‘89 3FE swapped in with no issues.
Trip thread:
Now that I’m home, I’ve had some intermittent starting issues. I’ve read a bunch of threads, but maybe still looking for some clarification.
-I did not do the wiring
-I have an aftermarket, out of tank fuel pump
-new fuel filter
-the small fuses all look new
-all grounds that I can see are tight
-it “feels” like a fuel issue
-not out of gas
-desmogged
-new OEM plugs, wires, distributer, button
-Sitting for a day, it will crank and idle for 6? Seconds, then die, then not crank at all. Just try to turn over and over.
-Next day, crank and drive fine.
-Next day, crank and die after 6 seconds.
The EFI relay is discounted by Toyota, but I was going to use a Bosch like in this thread:

Thanks

Bacon Across America—road trip Summer ‘19
Well, Deo @cruiserjunktion finally peer pressured me enough to buy a 55. It DOES seem to be what all the badasses drive, so I’ll have to step up my game. This is a pre-buy thread because I am prepping to get it home.... My 17 year old son River and I are flying from Birmingham, AL to Boise...

FJ62 EFI relay failure
I recently picked up an '88 FJ62 that I plan to use as a parts rig to go 2FE in my FJ60. But since it's actually in fairly decent condition it's being used as a driver until something major in the engine breaks. I bought it knowing it has a knock so I think it's only a matter of time...
