Hey all,
Been a member on here for a while, never posted before. that's because my 96 fzj80 has been awesome and never left me stranded from 150k-240k. Except for now, was gone for a long weekend, came back to the cruiser and it would only crank and not start. Ran fine the last time I drove it, been doing some searching on here and haven't had any luck. Read the emergency no start write-up, can't find it anymore otherwise I'd link it.
The car cranks strong, tested all the fuses and relays. Has spark, tested all 6 spark plugs against the valve cover and put in fresh spark plugs. Dizzy cap and rotor are new(ish) and look fine, not wet on the inside and contacts look fine, the coil pack was tested and was fine.
Car has fuel, pulled off the return line from the regulator and did get fuel coming out. Spark plugs were wet as well, and smelled of fuel. When jumping the FP to B in the diagnostics box I didn't hear the fuel pump, but when jumped at the connector for the fuel pump it runs fine.
Car has the check engine light on when the key is in and when it's cranking. No codes are stored.
Here's the weird part, when I unplug the fuel pump connector and crank the car, it will sputter a little like it wants to turn over. As soon as the fuel pump is reconnected, it goes back to only cranking.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. What else should I look for? was hoping the car would have a code so I'd have some idea of what to look for.
