What is the status of the manual throttle? Was it an option?

All OEM FJ40 throttles are manual, some are cable actuated while others have a mechanical linkage. Some are foot operated others are hand (pull knob) operated. Yes, they are common on 40's

If my manual do you mean hand throttle this were stock until the 1970 model in the US market. They were mounted in the dash and cable attached to the carburetor. From 1970 model these were a option. Later have only seen them mounted to the bottom of the dash and cable ran to the gas pedal. A year or two after the 69 model where the throttle was mounted in the dash there is a plug. Possibly those ran to the carburetor but never seen on to confirm. Generally in the US the optional hand throttle was part of the OEM PTO winch setup.
