ok i cleand the inside of it out and tried again.. the engine seems to turn over, but doesnt start... I am only guessing that this thing is the problem, can someone confirm this before i start looking for this part...

if it is this at fault.. would all jap sell them.. if not, who else would?

I think i would only need the part that spins around, not the whole thing.

how the hell did the locating pin snap off?

you best bet is a jap wrecker.

how did i snap it off??

I realy dont know.. :confused:

I took it off to paint the cam belt cover with some left over paint from my boot lid.. I put it back on.. lined it up, and it slipped in perfectly, tightened all bolts,... went to turn my car on to move it back into a sunny spot to tack sum engine bay shots and the car didnt start.

thats the only thing i could think of that could go wrong.. so i undid it all to take a look and noticed the pin was snapped off

the thing that is broken off is the little metal thing laying on the "cas" in the second photo. it broke off from inside the ??? hole :uh-huh:

Yes...it tells the ECU info about injector an ignition firing points/crank position. Somethings obviously not lining up properly any longer. The internally splined 'shaft' engages with similar shaft bolted to the end of the ex camshaft. If it's not in the right position, then ign timing etc will be out.....

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
