I recently picked up an '88 FJ62 that I plan to use as a parts rig to go 2FE in my FJ60. But since it's actually in fairly decent condition it's being used as a driver until something major in the engine breaks. I bought it knowing it has a knock so I think it's only a matter of time.
Couple of weeks ago it was driven to the gas station where it died. A quick diagnosis pointed to the EFI main relay; no CEL and with a jumper wire the Cruiser would crank. The EFI main relay is NLA from Toyota.
Quick thread tangent. The red imported fire ant is a scourge of the southern US. These little nasty beasts entered the US in the 1940s through the port of Mobile, AL. They build characteristic mounds and when disturbed boil out by the hundreds to thousands in defense. They also widely forage on almost any type of food and are very difficult to eradicate. Here's a pic of a quiescent mound which I then pestered .
