I have just purchased a fj45 ute with the intention of one day restoring it. Im having issues getting it started.
The ignition circuit has been bypassed from the day i picked it up. But it was still able to start by hot wiring the starter. I managed to get it to fire once only since picking the car up.
Now im having issues. Battery is brand new and puts out 12.5 volts. The engine cranks, but extremley slowly. Almost like the starter isnt getting enough power?
I also bypassed the ballast resistor to see if this was an issue. And tried a different coil too.
Any help would be much appreciated. First time post here on the forum
