Hello, I'm looking for help from the community. I'm fairly knowledgeable on cars, but this is my first off-road vehicle. Thank you in advance.
- 1995 FJ80, 175,000 mi or so
- Engine starts right up, but after about 10 minutes of driving on rough roads, it starts to lose power
- Once power loss begins, the engine shuts off within a minute or two; no amount of throttle can keep it running
- I've checked all fuses and have swapped the EFI relay with two different ones to check with no luck
- All vacuum lines, plugs/connectors, ground wires are intact/connected; no obvious signs in engine bay
- Engine cranks over strong, but won't start
- Very curious that it only seems to die when I drive on rough roads
Do the ECUs go bad on these? I had that happen on a 3000GT from leaking capacitors which corroded the circuit board.
If there's another thread on this, I would appreciate the assist.
- George
