I tried the archives but .....I have a leak (bad) coming from the tie rod (rack end) under the boot cover. Can I fix this without tearing out the whole steering housing ? Where can I get the seals ?...

Tim, The part arrived, and.........YES, I'm, "on the road again", just like Willie Nelson ! As soon as I find a replacement, I'll send it. Thanks a million, you saved my bacon. If I were to have more...

I tried to pm you, must have done something wrong. do I send a message to , "timsrv" ?

Well I jumped to the B+, it no start, same code, 'damb it Gummby' ! I can't find an igniter locally, and none on ebay right now. I'd break down and pay the $75 that they seem to bring there, but........

So, I have a small amount of power (using a variable test light my multi meter just died) Should it be stronger 12v ? Or is this another 'great hunt for a igniter ?
The only BR coded wire I could...

I have power from am2 at the ign. switch, and coming off the switch at IG2 But my igniter has a bunch of wires coming out, and into 4 wires at the connection w, bl, y & brn Also two coming from the...

Tim, Great FL. thread. my shop manual doesn't show locations, just the diagrams. Finding some of those, without the pics is a , "Do what" type situation. I'll check them (knock on wood, with crossed...

Thanks Tim, I put a used igniter on last month, And a new coil . It's been running fine , then ....it just stopped, and said, NO. I just swapped out another ecu, same code. The fuse is ok.
Do I...

Is it on the fuse block ? Mine doesn't have a cover, so I don't know what is what, but they all check out anyway. Still looking for the, "fuseable link" mentioned in, 'the book'

So Hey, back again. Where is the fuseable link for the ecu on a 86 ? No power coming to the ecu, Code is 3 flashes
Thanks DAn

U joints are good, that's the first thing I checked. But I was doubtful, because like I said,. it only happens when shifting from 1st to 2ed, not a 'clank' either. and it started suddenly, I thought...

OK, get your mind out of the gutter ! Well after fixing the bogging problem , next day.....BAM ! when It shifts from 1 st to second ONLY, the other shifts are smooth , as the always were.
Is there...

And so the saga ends. Merry Christmas to all.....and to all a good nite ! :wave1:

The Saints of all things Toyota be praised ! After checking everything there was to check.....I HAVE BEAT THE MACHINE, AGAIN !:dance2: It was the Igniter.

And believe me when I say, an angel...

"?" coil = the large coil on the back side of the distb. sends power to the rotor. pick up coil = the small coil mounted on the distb base, close to the left front corner ?

Did the simple stuff, I;m going to go through all test to see if I missed anything. I haven't tested the diagnostic system yet. i do have a factory dealership shop manual , so I have all of the...

Yea, I was afraid of that, thought I might have found the ever elusive "simple''' problem.

I'm been pretty burned out on this problem for a couple of days. But now back at it, should there be resistance in the distributor cap between the coil pick up and the center post ?

OH, and how do I test the igniter ? my book doesn't say.

well the coil change had no effect. although the 2edary coil tested bad. my air tube ( from the afm to throttle body is hard as a rock, and was / is falling apart. I epoxied all of the bad spots, but...

not acting like a converter , runs great .....when it runs. Same with the timing , It wouldn't shift back and fourth so quickly. I did find a bad secondary coil though, just got the new one, and the...

well hey there, new member here. Let's jump right in. I have a prob with my 86 2wd auto. trans.van
It completely bogs down with anymore than idle speed you can slowly rev it up in park, but under a...
