Apologies in advance if this has already been addressed! I couldn't find anything on a quickish search of the forums.
My 88 FJ62 (with a 5 speed manual swap) has an electrical gremlin upon start up where it doesn't seem to be getting enough fuel, perhaps? If you start, then give her a rev and/or pull out the throttle control, she'll keep running, but if ya don't, she will sputter, chug, flounder, and die. I've been throwing parts at it for a year or more with zero improvement (novice, learning as I go and trying to pay attention to people who seem to know more than I do). The resident Toyota guy in my neck of the woods suggested that it was because I had an ECM for an automatic, but the H55 manual transmission.
Any of you who did the manual swap on your traditionally automatic rigs have any issues? Did you swap the ECM for one out of a stock manual? Does it even matter?
Thanks in advance!
