Hello chaps and chappettes.
I went with a friend of mine to purchase a 1991 FJ80 and drove it back from San Diego to Long Beach. It drove pretty well, albeit as slow as molasses (so nothing new there). While I had it at my place it developed an issue. It seems to run roughly in the lower rev range, but as soon as you get a bit of speed up it clears up. It passed smog like this though, so I'm a bit bemused as to what it is. It's currently sitting at a local shop who seem to be as bemused as me.
It's a birthday present for my friend's son, and he's obviously anxious to get out and throw a surfboard on it and enjoy it as intended. So, my question is, is there a shop or mechanic in Long Beach (or relatively close by) that you guys could recommend? Any thoughts or input would be very gratefully received.
Thanks!
