I just got offered a free 84 FJ60. There is fuel getting to the carb, but it isn't getting to the engine. It runs great when spraying carb cleaner in it, but it is not apparently getting any fuel on it's own. Fuel pressure to carb is good.
I rebuilt the carb this weekend. Also started looking up desmog procedures. I am new to the FJs.
During the installation of the idle control solenoid on the back of the carb, one of the wires was severed right at the solenoid. It would be a hard repair. I am not familiar with these 80s carbs. What exactly does this solenoid do and what happens if it is unplugged?
Other than checking for severe vacuum leaks, if the carb rebuild doesn't fix my problem, what else should I look for? Do these have EGR valves that could get stuck open? There is so many vacuum hoses I can barely see what is going on.
Thanks!
