On another Landcruiser, and for the USA Im speaking about the V8 gasoline only as we have many more variations overhere, we found irregular performance on some days, some weeks coming and going. This was with one that had the TRD supercharger ( police version ) and we found 2 coils being bad. After checking around with customers we sold the superchargers to we found 2 of them had the same problem. This was fixed after knowing where to look at. Big difference as one day the Landcruiser was sluggish and the other day it was jumping over the intersection if you only looked at the throttle. Apparantly the supercharger pressurizing the engine including our quality fuel of 98 octane made the coils working hard and now we advice new coils at 100.000km ( 60.000 miles ) to keep this away.
Hope this helps.
With best regards and have a great Xmas.

However today, these 3 lights, ABS, VSC Trac and VSC Off, were on after 10-15mins driving, but they were not on in the first 10-15min after engine re-started. This phenomenon is repeatable. Does anyone have any clue of the problem? Your help and information will be highly appreciated.
What a relief, I'm having the EXACT same problem with my 1999 Land Cruiser. Can you please tell me what part you had to buy, part number, where you bought it, etc...Any useful info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
1. The Lever Assembly, Throttle (aka Pedal Position Sensor) located on the left side (passenger side) of the throttle body asy.
2. The Servo Motor located on the right side of the throttle body asy.
3. The TPS Sensor also on the right side and tucked behind the Servo motor. (this is the least likely problem)
I tried to just replace #1 but it did not fix the problem. Instead it was the Servo motor which you cannot buy separately from Toyota so I had to purchase a whole new Throttle Body Asy for over $1,000.
From what I've been able to gather, we have a Hybrid throttle system. You push the pedal and the cable turns the Lever Asy/Pedal Pos Sensor whose sensor signal goes to the Servo which actuates the butterfly valve and the TPS sensor provides feedback. A Toyota dealership should be able to check any error code you have (if check engine light is on). They should be able to do it for around $45. But the Lever Asy, Throttle will cost you at least $250 and the whole Throttle Body Asy will cost you around $1,250.
If you find out its the Lever Asy, Throttle then you can buy mine for alot less than from Toyota, as I have an extra one now and they don't take back special order parts.
I hope my experience can help you & others out.
my 2000 TLC (118k miles) experienced the aforementioned loss of power and the 3-alarm lighting of the dashboard warning indicators - my experience has two aspects - I found that the issue happened in cold weather and it was indeed Throttle Body Assembly based - 1st time I tried to repair, I did not replace the entire TBA.... a few years later when it failed the 2nd time, I acquired a "used" TBA from a TLC parts house in New England and had it repaired...
I drive a 1990, 60 series Toyota Land Cruiser, and unfortunately a few days ago when pulling out of a parking spot, I backed into a small grassy hill. I am not exactly sure what happened to the exhaust pipe, but I believe it is bent. It is of the hanger, so the current quick fix option I came up with was to wire the pipe back up, however if it is bent should I take it in to get fixed, and does anyone know roughly how much it would be? I know it seems ridiculous that I don't know whether or not it is bent, as I should just be able to tell by looking at it, however I don't know very much about cars at all, and I don't know what it looked like before the mini accident. The area where I believe it could be bent is way far under the car, so it is hard to tell, but the tip of the pipe is kind of jutting out to the side. Any one have any suggestions? Thank you so much.
I have a problem which looks similar but I really don't understand what to do.
1. Sometimes, when I start the engine at first it works out well but when I drive and later switch off, it becomes really hard to start the engine later. I even had to change the starter but the problem isn't solved.
2. It happens sometimes when changing the gear, the engine goes off. it has been quite long and we have tried to check all wiring without any diagnosis. fuel filter should be ok!!
Three questions:
I assume the turn signals on the outside of the car are activating also when this occurs, and it isn't only the indicator on the dash that is doing this?
If so, is it both front and rear right blinkers?
They are actually blinking when they are on--right---and not remaining on continuously? (The word "constantly" is what I am trying to clarify)
Hey guys, anyone change out an alternator on their 1999 (100 series) Land Cruiser? I about to attempt it myself instead of letting a shop do it. Any advise?
