Hi Guys,
Pretty new to ih8mud but I’m impressed by the community!
I picked up a 1991 FJ80 earlier this year and have been working with my mechanic to solve a starting issue it’s been having. Basically, sometimes the truck will crank and crank but not start. I haven’t been able to exactly identify what the conditions are that cause the scenario. If it isn’t starting, it usually just has to site for about a day and then it will start up. Once it’s going, it runs without any problems.
So far we’ve replaced spark plugs, distributor cap, wiring harness, and as of a few days ago, the fuel pump. Even with all the new compononents, the problem persists.
I’m wondering if anyone has had a similar issue, and could recommend a Denver area mechanic who may have solved this problem before? I think my mechanic is great, but I’m wondering if there is a fellow mudder out there who just might know a little more based on experience.
Thanks for any help!
