Hi all, new to the site and to Cruisers in general! I picked up a a 92 fj80 this summer with 200k miles on the clock! She is super clean and purrs like a kitten, as of January 1, she will be eligible for collector plates, which is my goal, bone stock, super clean, and minor wheeling (logging roads to remote lakes/ hikes, etc!)
I scoured the site this morning for a couple of hours and found a few posts with my exact problem. Now, I am not asking for trouble shooting tips (as they are covered quite extensively, thanks all!), having done the research I have some great starting points. Thank you to all for the insight and tips, however, what I have noted is that very few posts actually contain the final solution (ggrrrrrr!!!!). I'm new and not trying to make enemies... but here it is:
Intermittent stall. This happened twice so far and on the hwy: fuel gets around half tank, and the fuel lights comes on for a bit, then the engine dies (no CEL). The first time I waited 5 mins and she fired back up. Just recently (after having done some research here), coming back from a long trip, same thing, pulled off safely, popped the hood, and swapped the EFI relay (which was quite warm to the touch) with a spare and she fired right up and I drove off. The fuel light came on a couple mins later, I bailed off the hwy, she stumbled once for a split second, then continued without issue. The light went off and I made it home.
I am hoping someone who has posted previously who had this same issue can please post the solution? I understand it may not be the same as my issue, but... fuel light on, around half tank, stalling.... from what I've read it seems sort of common!
Thanks all, again, not asking for someone to post all kinds of trouble shooting tips, I have read/ book marked those threads!
