FJ62 fuel consumption/idling problem (1 Viewer)

[BigFoote]

So I discovered a bit of a problem developing with how the car is idling, it gets stuck at around 1.5-2k revs. It doesn't happen all the time, and when it does I can usually unstick it by tapping the accelerator in neutral, but then the revs drop so low (400 or less) that sometimes the car stalls.

I feel like this may be linked with my high fuel consumption, I get around 430km/100L with a mix of 4wd, highway, and a bit of city driving.

If anybody has any suggestions on how to fix either of these issues please help me out .

Thanks

Does your 62 have the auto tranny or manual? And it is not the 3FE but the 3F, so carbureted not fuel injected right?

Manual, and yeah the 3F.

check the throttle cable - it may have bound up. you can trickle some ATF into it to try and free it or just replace it

Hi, Worse when cold or hot engine? Mike

Worse when it's to I think, but still happens when it's warmed up

Sorry for the way late reply, haven't logged in for a while. It turned out to just be the throttle on the carb getting stuck, bit of carby cleaner fixed it for a short while but ended up putting another carb on. Fuel consumption never got better though haha
