ONTARIO CALI
I came across a recent problem with my 92 cruiser. I notice when my engine light comes on that the vehicle will not start. This just starting happening a few weeks ago. When this happens i have to get it jumpstarted. when someone jumps it, it will start up automatically. the engine light will go off and stay off for a couple of days. but once it turns back on, it will only let me start the vehicle once or twice then it will not let me start it again. when i try to start it again, it will only make the "clicking noise" as if it is coming from the starter. i know its not the battery cuz i have swapped it out with a new one and it still does the same thing. i have also changed the distributor, ignitor, plugs, and wires. if you have any solutions please let me know.

also one more thing.. i recently did an oil change at home. i noticed that once i started up the cruizer, after the oil change, that i had a rough idle. (kinda like an air flow sensor problem) the idle fluctuates moderatly up and down and somtimes acts as though it wants to shut off after it declines to a certain rpm.
any answers.???

by the way it is a 92 landcruizer, 196,000 miles.

thanks for you input
 
Sounds like you need new starter contacts to me. Call Cdan immediately and get them in before your starter is burned. These are different from the 93 up contacts, I believe. Best way is to have the serial number off the starter for Dan.

As for the idle, check the large rubber tube connecting the air cleaner to the engine. The bellows section will likely have cracks on the bottom from reefing on it to pull the air cleaner lid off instead of properly removing the tube first. Bet you also checked your air cleaner during the oil change, eh???
