might be an AFM problem.

sounds like the problem is fuel related if the plugs are coming out very wet. it is probably putting too much fuel in and flooding it so the plugs aren't able to fire. try unplugging the injector loom and turning the car over a bit to try and get some of the fuel out of the engine and then plug it back in and see what happens.

i know you are in scotland, so that makes the next thing a bit hard, but i would try and get a hold of a consult cable. you may be able to get something on ebay over there (not really sure what is available outside of australia) butif you can get one then you can read off the ecu any possible fault codes and check things like the AFM voltage as well as other things.

i think that your on the ball got a pressure gauge on loan tomorrow. Should i just disconnect the fuel line coming from the regulator and place the gauge between?

If the fpr has failed i assume that the fuel rail will hold the full pressure?

You need to place the gauage between the fuel rail and fpr, the fpr is what hols pressure in the rail, if its screwed it will either lock up and you will get heaps of pressure in the rail and lots of fuel being pushed through the injectors, or it wont hold any pressure and you will get none in the rail.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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!
