I just purchased a severly neglected (mechanically) FJ80...cosmetically, it's perfect, so my wife's happy. Anyhow, having starting issues as most do...but for now, my electrical problems have been tamed...I do plan on upgrading everything on the engine in the future however from wiring harness to starter and all in between.
For now, i am afflicted with uneven fuel pressure. I have alreadly dismounted the fuel tank & cleaned it out completely twice because of the severe deposits crusted to its inner walls...I've replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, and have been running SUPER PREMIUM FUEL ONLY to hope that i can keep from replacing the injectors along with all the lines! All that is left is the fuel sending unit, which i've actually already ordered from YOTA. Seeing how the gas gauge doesn't work due to this device anyways, it needs replaced. But I believe that since it can't produce the proper pressure because it doesn't actually know how much fuel is in the tank. This problem starting occurs especially after fueling up at the station...after it sits for about an hour, it'll start right up though. Go figure, it's still full of problems beyond this. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
