Refreshed my backer board and replaced the plastic snaps.
That looks great! Where did you source the clips and what did you use for the backer? I need to do this.
Got my long range tank put in. Pulled out my tool kit to check it and everything still looks new after 35 years.
I think I have finally fixed the CEL/cold start/poor idle issues with the 3FE we have had over the last couple of weeks. Order of operations:
- replaced O2 sensors, no significant change
- inspected distributer - nothing significant
- cleaned throttle body and tested/adjusted TPS - minor improvement
- tested MAF sensor per FSM, OK
- cleaned cold start injector - no change
- removed connectors on cold start timer and water temp sensor, cleaned
- tested water temp sensor with Ohmmeter - in spec per FSM.
replaced connections on cold start timer and water temp sensor.
works now.
the old "take it apart and put it back together" trick??
I'm thinking the connection wasn't good on the water temp sensor.
Anyway, started up like a champ this morning. feels like a victory.

When I was first firing up the freshly rebuilt 3FE that I installed in my '86 FJ60 I had one code, it was the connection on one of those two.
A little late to post. But this weekend after waiting since July. I picked it up in denver and drove it to Spokane. How many rigs can you drive 1000 miles and not have any big glitches?
Looks clean. What is on the roof?
Wait a minute, what’s up with the side marker lights?...front in the “wrong” place and no rear light, and no side vent. And what is the monogrammed skid plate up front? And the mirrors? And full floater? Lol.
Is that an import truck or just some custom stuff done to it?

Could it be a euro HJ60/61 without the Diesel or turbo badge on the grill? Great looking truck as well

Nice dimes there
Desmogged last year, this winter pulled the intake and got rid of the air injection rail and vacuum hard lines just trying to tidy things up. I still needed vacuum to the vsv for the charcoal canister and didn't want to just run vac lines across so I made a new set of hard lines for under the manifold with only what I needed. I used 1/4 and 3/16 NICOPP brake line and it solders together real nice.

Very nice work. Going the extra mile for a clean conversion.
Oooh nice work on the metal spaghetti fab...are the two smaller hard lines coming from the BVSV up by the thermostat?
Just last night I was pulling vac lines and blowing through them to match where they end, and tape labeling each matching end. I am debating hard about deleting the metal spaghetti under the intake. I want it gone but might leave it just in case and just bypass it to make more direct fewer connections.
Next project is intake system/exhaust manifold refresh and send injectors out...and the air rail is coming out - full smog job.
What did you do with the VSV(and its wiring) for the FPR? Hard to see from the photo, is it on the front of the intake mani?
It is a euro spec hj61
It’s a HUGE sun roof. That goes all the way back to the passenger seats.

Nice job. I’m going to try to do a shave job on a 3FE upper intake soon to make it look like EGR was never there if you want to tidy it up even more
