My 89 FJ62 has been giving me trouble recently and I've decided its time to learn how to work on a car. I'm trying to figure this out without taking my car to the shop but could use some help.
Right now the car cranks but will not turn over.
The battery, starter, spark plugs, distributor cap, and rotor are new. The spark plugs are sparking when I pull them and crank.
I think it is a fuel problem..
I have the engine service manual and when I try to jump +B to FP(i think) to manually test the fuel pump I don't hear a thing. Should it be a pretty obvious sound?
I have looked at the fuses, but have no idea where to look for fuseable links. The main relay is good.
I have also read up on the infamous fuel pressure regulator. Is there any way to test this without shelling out for a new one? Same question with the fuel pump.
I am also pulling up diagnostic code 51...
Recent problems if it helps...
Battery started to die last month is freezing Rochester weather. I cranked it too long and fried the starter.
I installed a new batter and starter but was getting a odd bumping in the engine most noticeable around 1000 rpm.
Replaced the spark plugs and the engine was running like a dream, however it would only start up about 75% of the time. If I gave it a little gas it would usually roar up.
Last week at the bar it wouldn't start back up. I got towed home and haven't had any luck since.
Thanks for any and all help.
