Hi all
New owner of a 82 fj60 with 400k miles on it. Bought this for my wife as she's always wanted one in baby blue and the price was right. I'm used to working on old cummins motors so an inline 6 like the 2f is awesome from that standpoint.
It's been running great since I bought it, but recently decided it doesn't want to start. Since we've bought it, it never liked to keep idling if you put the clutch in from a high rpm (i.e. heading towards a stop light or off the highway) so I got past that with down shifting all the way down to 1st every time and feathering the throttle and clutch as needed. Of course, my wife does not like that very much as she isn't the strongest manual transmission driver.
Replaced all fuel lines, fuel filter, new gasket between carb and air cleaner (air box?) whatever you call it...took the fuel pump off and replaced the gasket as there was fuel leaking from there. The fuel pump tested fine via the block off test.
While replacing the fuel lines, I found all 3 of these hoses in the photo below to be rotted out and cracked. I've been searching for the last hour or so trying to figure out what they're for and if they are contributing to a vacuum leak that is causing a no start.
I would assume these are no longer available from Toyota.
I'd like to replace them regardless as I'm trying to keep everything as OEM as possible and keep this thing ticking for a few more years. We are planning on swapping in a 2.8 Cummins when funds allow
Any info on what they are, where I can find them and if it's something I should replace or ignore for the time being is appreciated.
Hints for our no start issue would be great as well, I think I'm on the right track though.
.
Thanks in advance!
