Hey, just wanted to say "hello and very cool!!!" Just say @ToyotaMatt post on Instagram about you. I have a 85 bj74 and a 93 kzj78. I'm up in Wilmington. I will reach out to you if I ever need help!!!
 
I know the FM radios between USDM and JDM vehicles work on different frequencies, but is it the same for AM? I can hear some faint static if I turn my radio way up, but that's it.
 
Hello, I tried sending you a private message but it says your inbox is full.

I was wondering how much you charge to inspect and repair an emissions module?

I have a 1979 FJ40 and the previous owner bypassed the emissions module for the ICS, so I’m guessing it probably has some bad solder connections. Would love to fix it and get the ICS fully functional again.

Thanks!
 
@Engineer8000 do you sell the emission computers? I have an 84' 60 where my fuel cut solenoid was intermediately causing a rough idle and no start issues. Solved in the short term by creating a new circuit wired to the ignition coil that is fused and relayed, but I'd prefer to put back to OEM. Without tracing the wires, I'm asserting that the ground side of the FCS that goes to the emission computer terminal 12 is bad. Do I have options to buy one from you or do you recommend me looking for the problem elsewhere?
 
Russ, I have two questions for you, both related to 80 series electronics.

#1: Charlie, no. 1 son, (not Henry, who is no. 2 son with a very nicely refurbished Technics stereo) has a 1994 with the RS3x alarm and magic door lock controller. This is a port installed nightmare. He's recently been experiencing ignition failures, due to the alarm system. He doesn't want to give up the key fob door locker, and, since he's flown the nest, the truck is his to care for. I say that to say I'm not interested in replacing the alarm with another, or a wireless lock/unlock system. Are you interested in scoping the board and letting me know if it's salvageable?

#2: I have a need for an alternator test stand (the Charlotte auto parts stores' machines are notoriously unreliable). I'm planning to build one. Would you be interested in providing suggestions on what a circuit would look like? I would like to test all the output parameters of the alternator, through a range of rpm, say from 650 to 3000. This would be for the 80A standard alternator. I primarily want it so that when I rebuild theses things, I don't fire the parts cannon at them and instead buy, and replace, the component(s) that have failed. I know I could connect it to the scope, but I'd like to have a dedicated test stand, if it's feasible.

Thanks.
 
As the automagic shutoff function is getting reliable, I'll have him unplug it and mail it to you. He'll just have to use the key until it's fixed. That'll be waaay better than being stranded.

I don't have the specs for the alternator, other than the minimalist static tests in the FSM, so I'm at a loss as to what to include in a test circuit. Would a scope be a better tool, assuming I can whip up a spin stand? I assume I want to see some kind of square wave, at some frequency, and some output current, within a given rpm range? Is there any other running parameter to test for?
 
Russ, to be clear, this test stand would be for all land cruiser alternators, in theory, but primarily for the 80 series 80A units.

I have service manuals for all of the radios used in the 70s and 80s Toyota cars and trucks. I stock the common repair parts.


If you have any other old electronics needing repaired, lets talk.

I would like to send you an OEM radio from a ‘78 40. Do you still work on them?

I see a few radios for sale on fleebay now advertised to be for the FJ40. They are not. All FJ40 radios had the control pegs low and inside like this. And they were all AM only. If the pegs are centered vertically then it is not an FJ40 radio.

I have one I want to send to you to clean up and service to get it working again.

He was familiar with mine last Easter too ....




NPR still comes in strong each morning too , i simply love all the TECH. on National Public Radio .... :) :wrench: :wrench: :wrench: 🔊

thanks mr Russ 8000 for tuning my tuner pegs & adjusting my antenna adjuster too .....

it's finally on the way Russ ,

the rear cord wires i think need a new oem kit installed , those claw-like hooks are impressive ...

thanks ,,,
