FJ60 1984 New to Form Introduction (1 Viewer)

[FJ60Blue]

Hello everyone,
I'm new to this form. Thank you for accepting me. I'm looking forward to learning about my FJ60. I'm just starting to get into the Cruiser world. I bought a 1984 FJ60 a few months ago. I had my step dad help me with a few repairs to get it on the road, but now I need to keep it going. I'm currently having an issue with it starting. The wiring is cobbled together I just installed an amp that seemed to drain the battery. I unplugged it and still having the issue. I think it might be a lose ground somewhere, but not sure.

I'm also looking for a guide to maintenance. When searching the form I find a lot on the FJ62, but not the FJ60. Any suggestions where I can find routine maintenance guide? I know I need to grease my zerks, but would like a full guide to everything that I should be doing.

Thank you for any help!

Yeah this forum has a lot of good info.

The Toyota 2F engine factory service manual has all the tune up procedures. Get a copy of that. Also get the emissions equipment manual.

The link below has a bunch of manuals someone posted online.

The resources tab will lead you to a maintenance manual for 1986. Most of the activities and procedures will be the same for any FJ60.

Hola a todos,
Soy nuevo en este formulario. Gracias por aceptarme. Estoy ansioso por aprender sobre mi FJ60. Estoy comenzando a adentrarme en el mundo Cruiser. Compré una FJ60 1984 hace unos meses. Hice que mi padrastro me ayudara con algunas reparaciones para ponerla en la carretera, pero ahora necesito que siga funcionando. Actualmente tengo un problema con el arranque. El cableado está improvisado. Acabo de instalar un amplificador que parecía agotar la batería. Lo desenchufé y sigo teniendo el problema. Creo que puede ser una pérdida de tierra en alguna parte, pero no estoy seguro.

También estoy buscando una guía de mantenimiento. Cuando busco en el formulario, encuentro mucha información sobre la FJ62, pero no sobre la FJ60. ¿Alguna sugerencia de dónde puedo encontrar una guía de mantenimiento de rutina? Sé que necesito engrasar mis graseras, pero me gustaría una guía completa de todo lo que debería hacer.

¡Gracias por cualquier ayuda!

Hola amigo, saludos, tienes el manual del propietario de la fj60 del 1984?

Come to a Rising Sun club meeting and let folks take a look.

Typical first steps are undoing the wrongs & bad modifications of the previous owner. Get rid of extra electrical garbage otherwise you’ll never isolate the problem. Follow the manuals that others have linked above (especially the Emissions manual) and make sure everything’s working. Make 1000% sure all the vac hoses are routed where they’re supposed to go!! Doing all of the test procedures is time consuming, but worth it in the end.

Any new to you old vehicle needs a solid baseline: change the oil and oil filter, change the fuel filter, new spark plugs & wires, new distributor rotor & cap, replace all the vacuum lines, and set the valves. All of that is super easy on a 2F, with the most intimidating thing for newbies being valve lash adjustment - although it’s easy once you get to it. After that start looking at the fuel pump and carb.

Hard starting might initially seem to be an electrical or starter motor issue, but 9/10 times the culprit is in the above baselining list.
