Help truck just died on freeway (1 Viewer)

Parts are old...your rig is old. Does not matter how many miles it has. Rubber and plastic became brittle and dry- we have 20+ yr old rigs and if parts had not been replaced that you know of, change them as a PM. For me I have a piece of mind that the list of items that I replaced is one less thing to worry about when you are driving even though new parts are not always 100%. Also look into replacing your PHH if you have not done so and also Replace that heater valve at the firewall before it blows......

This is true. However, according to Jon this igniter is no longer produced. My own research also yields that there are only used parts on ebay for this igniter as well, so I wouldn't be able to replace it with a "new" part. Just a questionable other used part. Maybe something to keep in the spares box?

On the other hand, I have a 92 so I don't have to worry about the PHH

You just have to be concerned with passing and steep grades.

he has 1991 FJ80 so no PHH but good idea to replace as much of the original 29 year old rubber as possible.

Can the igniter work intermittently?

Yes, although it is usually temperature related. Typically they go intermittent before failure, but other times they just fail outright.

I'm sure. The handed me the box (https://www.autozone.com/ignition-t...tem-oem-standard-ignition-coil-c909/65957_0_0) with the OEM part inside.
I will bench test it later this week.

Since I just did this, I can share a bit of @jonheld's wisdom regarding the multimeter:

3FE Head Gasket

I'm going to let @jonheld jump back in on these questions. I am of the opinion of Toyota wires, but I'm only familiar with the 1FZ-FE and mine spits out aftermarket parts. I also think you should check your ground on your igniter. Double check all your ground cables between the engine, body...

I came across here looking for a cross for my 88 EFI coil. The parts I have are:
coil: 90919-02113/ 029700-4920
Igniter:1970-61080/J01311-5360 and it has "Coil W/Igniter" on that same tag.
The igniter part number is rubbed off. Just throwing parts info from my rig.

Please note post #31.
The FJ62 and FJ80 variant of the 3FE used a different coil/igniter and had different spark plug gaps. I never verified if the electrical wiring was the same between the two. AFAIK, the two are not interchangeable.
