Hey Timmy, just had my transfer case done and the mechanic kept my cruiser for over a month, when I got it back it was running horrible and the guy told me I needed an engine rebuild. Come to find out the mechanic switched out one of my spark plugs with an old rusty one, and also messed up my firing order for my cables. If it wasn't for that one shot in the video where you are clipping the cables on to the new distributor cap, I would have never known the right firing order because my original distributor cap didn't have clips, but the new one did. Everything is in order now and shes purring like a giant kitten. Thanks again Timmy! keep it up!
Sounds like you took your rig to crooked mechanic. What did messing with the spark plugs and wires have to do with transfer case work? If it were me, I'd leave that shop a very negative review to warn people about their dishonest business practices.
You guys just saved me $400. Thanks so much for helping all of us keep this awesome rig alive.
That's great to hear Steven. You're very welcome. Happy Wrenching on your 80 Series.
TH-cam Certified Mechanic! I like it brother Tim, especially since you do more detail maintenance than most shops with staffed ASE robot people!
jake ounce it’s an accredited certification dont ya know? Took years to get that certification. Well, actually 3-5 days of shipping!
Excellent video with some nice pointers that sped up my tune up. Thanks!
Thanks Chris. Glad our video helped you out.
I was just looking online at ‘95 Landcruisers last night. I’m still not ready to get rid of my 1st gen Tacoma but these things are absolutely bullet proof! ...love those Milwaukee ratchets!
Yeah, I like them too. Maybe one day I'll own one too. That Milwaukee ratchet has saved me a ton of time and arm/hand/wrist pain.
Glad you are working with TLC!!!. I love that series!!!!
Yeah, I like them too. I just might add one to my collection one day.
@@TimmyTheToolman It would be a great addition!!!!. Go for it!!!.
Great video Timmy nice tune up and maitinence video
Thanks Antonio.
Thanks for the excellent tutorial. I did it myself
You're very welcome. Good job getting it done.
That was literally the most helpful DIY video I’ve ever seen! I did a tune up on my 96 land Cruiser, and it went EXACTLY how you guys showed us.
THANK YOU for making this!
Hey Kelly, thanks for the nice compliment. Great to hear you were able to tune-up your rig using our video. You're very welcome and Happy Wrenching!
Great video, "certified mechanic" :D
Thanks Alex. The highest level you can achieve in the auto mechanics world is "TH-cam Certified Master Mechanic". It took a lot of hard work to get there, but I did it! ;)
When I did my '02 4runner plugs after 120K miles, the were stiff as well (the wrench would only turn 5-10 degrees at first before major resistance). I sprayed a penetrating oil down the sparkplug tubes and worked the plugs back and forth. They loosened up and I was able to get them out without having to muscled them. A good coating of anti- seize went on the new plugs
Thanks for sharing. I've never had a spark plug come out rough the whole way like that and I've changed lots of spark plugs. I've also never used anti-seize on the threads of plugs. There seems to be quite a bit of debate on whether to use anti-seize or not.
When I first got my 4runner I remember readingyhat 60K was a good plug change interval to reduce the risk of the plugs seizing my in the head. I did that the first two times @60aK and 120K and didn't have any difficulty removing the plugs. I waited for another 120K this last round and iit was a challenge to get them out. I seem to remember most of the recently purchased steel plugs having at least a dab of anti- seize out of the box. I'll keep a closer watch.
@@stevenbauer7744 Maybe that's the issue that the plugs were in there for a very long time. I've never noticed any anti-seize on the threads of a spark plug unless I'm blind or just not paying that close attention. I'm pretty sure I would notice this though because I've handled lots of spark plugs over my 37 years of turning wrenches on my vehicles.
شكرا جزيلا 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks for the Triple Thumbs Up.
Timmay! Nice to see some 80 series creeping their way in...i finally picked up an 80 series and im planning on a LS swap into it. You should be able to have that put in a weekend right? :) Great stuff as always
An LS Swap would be cool. Good luck with it.
These motors are great, they can take 8-12 psi with stock internals
Consider replacing the distributor o-ring while doing this job.
Good tip! Do you know the part number?
@@TimmyTheToolman Distributor o-ring (90099-14118)
Dude u tha man I have an fj80 and its about that time to do a tune up on her...this looks like an fj80z tho just a heads up the 6L Is a little different
Yeah, that's why we mention the engine model in the video title and description. What's the 6L model called?
@@TimmyTheToolman 3FE vs 1FZFE
Hi mate ... great upload as usual! Any idea where i could biy a tool for mixture screw on aisan carby? Its down as a SST in the manual
There are sets on Amazon with a variety of different ends to fit different security head screws. My carb adjusting screwdriver from the old days was a shrouded flat blade on a flex shaft to get into access restricted idle adjustment screws.
Steven Bauer thank you ... ill try again... just thought maybe someone in the group would know👍. Cheers mate
Thanks for answering his question Steve. I appreciate it.
Just an update... saw amazons sets of adjusters... didn’t suit. Tried a place in Saudi Arabia but they were sold out too.. finally tried calling Toyota dealership spares ... no good.
Thanks guys all the same 👍
Hi Timmy big fan here. I have a 2007 TLC with 79k km l recently changed or replaced some of the fluids, but the coolant looks in a good condition and there is a small sticker that suggests to change the coolant at 160k km so would you recommend to change it or leave it like that, also the diff fluid looks bright red do i have to change it or keep rolling with it for longer. Thanks keep the good work
Coolant lasts from 30-50k. If a shop put a sticker on it, that means you're coming up on an interval of at least 30k miles. If it were me, I'd renew the coolant. As for the diff fluid, I think you must be talking about the automatic transmission fluid. Differential gear oil is golden in color, like motor oil. Automatic transmission fluid is red.
Awesome vid. What is a big difference once y’all took it out on the road
Honestly, I don't remember what Aaron said if he said anything. If your rig was in need of a tune-up, it should run smoother with more power than before.
@@TimmyTheToolman for sure man
I would also clean the MAF sensor and clean the throttle body. 👍👍
Yeah, that would be a good idea for sure.
I remember when I installed Downey headers on my 95' 3.0L Pickup it said it may be necessary to modify the MAF sensor. Basically you pull off that black "D" shaped plate and rotate the cogged wheel like two or three notches to adjust the air/fuel ratio. I also installed the Jackobs Electronics Mileage Master and picked up some more power and mileage.
Those were the days.
We actually did clean the throttle body. Maybe we didn't catch the footage? Cleaning the MAF would have been a good idea too
And the Idle Air Control valve and Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve on other models such as the 5ve
What sort of fuel economy does the old straight six get? Sick video on the 80
10mpg
They are thirsty i tell you that, on the other hand they are torquey and bulletproof.
Tim I’m local and have a 5th gen 4Runner. I really want to have the transmission oil changed out by someone very experienced. I know you don’t work on 5th gens (much) but would you know a super knowledgeable and meticulous mechanic that has experience doing so called “sealed” transmission service? Thank you 🙏
I haven't done a service on a sealed transmission yet but I've seen one video on the subject of how one goes about doing it. So, I'm not experienced with this service but I'm certain I could figure it out. Send me an email and maybe we'll get together and shoot a video on this subject. mtbtim@sbcglobal.net
👍👍
Thanks for the two thumbs up Chris.
Do you need to do the ignition timing when you replace the cap and rotor?
On an old 3fe it's a great, and simple, idea!
You could check the timing but you probably don't have to worry about it.
Can we get a "valve lash adjustment" video for the 3fe?! I've don't a full tune up on my buddies cherished 91 Cruiser and his drivetrain is chattering a bit. I highly doubt an adjustment has ever been done!
Maybe one day Nate if somebody hits us up for this job. Right now, I have one friend with an FJ-80, and that's Aaron, and he has the 1FZ-FE engine.
Just my one pal has a Cruiser. I prefer the 4runners : )
A neighbor a few blocks down picked up a very nice (maybe late 80s) Prado, right hand drive.
I'll go ahead with the 3fe valve adjustment and let you know how it goes 🤙🏻
I just did this on my 80 series and it idles very rough. Any suggestions?
Maybe you got the wire routing wrong?
I'm doing a tune up, valve cover gasket, timing belt, water pump, etc.,etc. on my 2002 tacoma with the 3.4L V6 5VZFE engine. One of the things I'm replacing is the gasket where the water neck for the return radiator hose bolts to the top of the engine. There are 3 nuts that hold this on and I can't find a torque spec for these anywhere. Can anyone help? I do know it's NOT 14ft-lbs.
If you have access to a buddy's 5vze or one at the junkyard, reverse torque them. Use your torque wrench and from a lower ft/lb number work your way up until they loosen. Then you're close to the spec
When building up a rebuilt Yota1 Performance engine, I couldn't find a torque value for those 10mm nuts in the Toyota factory service manual. Based off the size of the nut and my experience with the torque value of similarly sized fasteners, I decided to tighten the nuts to 80 inch pounds. It doesn't take much to get tight enough so the connection doesn't leak.
Hey Tim. Who in the Bay Area sells genuine Toyota parts other than the dealership? And where on line can you buy them? What’s a good aftermarket brand if Genuine Toyota isn’t available?
I have a 2003 4Runner
I don't know of any place other than the dealers that sell Toyota parts in the Bay Area. Some online parts sellers that seem to be good on prices is Toyota Parts Deal and McGeorge.
Amazon fellas
@@Nate_tureboy Yes, Amazon and Ebay too.
Was the coil wire replaced? If so what is part #? Dont see it on description
Yes, we replaced the coil wire. It comes with the spark plug wire set we link in the video description.
What do you gap the plugs at?
Don't know. I haven't checked spark plug gaps in a very long time because the spark plugs come pre-gapped. As long as the box the spark plug comes in is intact, the gap should be good. When you pull the spark plug out of the box, you'll see a cardboard or plastic sleeve protecting the threads and electrodes.
@@TimmyTheToolman Great, didn't gap plugs on GX470, will check what comes outta the LC when I get there.
"because then you will be very sad and unhappy." - Timmy Toolman, wise man
Glad you like my wise man offerings.
I always thought it was bad for plug wires to rest in one another?
I don't understand what you're saying. What do you mean when you say "plug wires rest in one another?"
@@TimmyTheToolman Is it okay for spark plug wires to touch one another under the plug cover? Or should I make zip tie brackets to keep them from touching each other?
@@GammaFields The wires are insulated so I don't think it would matter if they touch each other. The plastic wire organizers have them very close together so if some type of interference could happen, I don't think they would have the wires stacked next to each other in those keepers.
My torque wrench doesn't have a Gudenteit setting. :)
The Gudentite method uses your Torque Elbo. You won't find it on your store bought torque wrench. ; )
@@TimmyTheToolman your videos are very well crafted and very helpful while being humorous. Many thanks!
@@effjay8010 Thanks John. We appreciate the compliment. I am surprised more people don't comment on the humor we throw in. Anyways, you're very welcome.
Guten snug you just use a few fingers on the wrench. Guten teit you use your entire hand on the wrench👍🤣👍

You are a man of few words but we're glad you like it.
I think he is confusing the 1fz with the 1uz. The 1uz is used in airplane and boating applications
I misspeak sometimes. It happens. There's no script or teleprompter.
Hey tell me the tool man my name is Hector live in Myrtle Beach South Carolina. The question asked 3rd Gen. Toyota airbag goes off she built no longer no good yes or no. Let me know I wanna hear TH-cam channel.
I'm not sure what you're asking Hector. Are you saying an airbag has gone off due to some collision and Toyota no longer makes the airbag?
Xf me inscriben que yo no e podido entrar
No entiendo que tu hablas.
A tune up is adjusting stuff, replacing parts is progressive maintenance. Your not gaining just restoring, improving by adjusting or upgrading is tuning. And leads are technically not wires-dude
Hmmm. I'm pretty sure 99.9% of people who have performed a tune-up on one of their vehicles has replaced parts. And also, 99.9% of people call them Spark Plug Wires or just Wires. These are very common terms people use everyday and people know what they mean when they use them.
Hair's gettin a little long I see!
Yeah, no access to barbers. I've had my hair cut twice since this Covid-19 crap happened. Once by my girlfriend and once from a friend of mine.
A tune up is adjusting stuff, replacing parts is progressive maintenance. Your not gaining just restoring,
You're entitled to your opinion, just as much as I am entitled to no agree with you. I've never heard someone say they are going to perform "Progressive Maintenance" The term you are looking for is Preventative Maintenance and a tune-up is preventative maintenance. Don't make life harder on yourself by creating terms nobody uses.
