Hello All,
A friend of mine just brought me a 1986 Toyota Landcruiser Strait 6 with a manual transmission. He has asked me to help him make it run right again. Apparently is used to run good but recently it has been running very very rich and it will not idle anymore. To get it to start you have to press the gas pedal (WOT) until it fires up and then you have to keep the rpm's up above 1200 RPM or else it will just shake and die right out. When you hold the RPM about 1200 is just stinks up the whole area of un burnt gas. Also the owner informed me that the last time he filled up the tank, gas was pouring out of the filler neck, like the tank was being pressurized some how.
So where should I start??
thanks in advance!!!
