Hey all,
'93 FZJ80 here with ~265k miles.
Experienced an issue yesterday where I came to a stop at a red light, engine sort of just sputtered and died. I tried to restart it, and it would crank but just wouldn't turn over.
Tried again today, same result. Pulled the codes, got this: 42, 83, 84, 85.
Now, I understand the 83-85 codes strongly suggest that the ECU needs to be replaced, However, in all of the threads I've read about it, it seems as though people's cruisers still start up and run with these codes.
My question is about whether the codes could be a red herring, and if I should look for an issue somewhere else before pulling the trigger on the ECU purchase.
Thanks in advance.
