Here we go and where to start. I have a 1997 FZJ-80 that I purchased 6 years ago and had really no problem with her until 3 years ago when I had near catastrophic brake failure all calibers locked up and brake booster failed. I replaced all the failed components and she was like new again. However, soon after in the summer two years ago she took a major power hit , possibly lightning. I suspect lighting due to the components like the ECM, radio, and the several other control modules. Also she was parked next to my boat that had several of its components fried as well.
I have replaced the ECM and all the other damaged components. Before I did anything I bought a new battery and a new fusible link. I also tested all the electrical down to the computer which one satisfied all well I hooked up the ECM and she started on the first attempt. She even blew out a huge wasp nest out of the tail pipe. I let her idle for about 20 mins then shut her off. On trying to restart she did turn over and made as if she was struggling to start but would not.
I suspected that the fuel was bad from sitting close to two years and that the fuel filter should be also replaced. So yesterday I drained the fuel tank and today I put on a new fuel filter. I suspect this was fuel filter had not been change is many years if not being the original filter. I say this because this was Toyota Denso Filter with Japanese writing on it. I put 5 gallons of fuel in her, tested the fuel pump and had positive flow. Never the less She did not start just turned over and sputtered.
I checked for spark from the igniter and coil and all systems go. Still a failure to start. I am thinking that the injectors may be clogged, any ideas? All is appreciated.
