Hey guys, need some help! went for a cruise up to the river and when i hit speed of 100 and over i noticed the engine started to back of a bit and i had to put my thought down on the pedal to keep it at the speed. something seem to be giving the engine a hard time. after driving it for 70k or so it went away. And was fine half way back on the trip home but then the problem started again. Don"t know a great deal about cars. thinking it could be a fuel pump issue other wise not sure wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

As mentioned above there is a whole lot of things that could have the symptoms your car is showing mate. Personally I would start with a quick service and see how it goes. Change the oil, oil filter and spark plugs. Give the afm a bit of a clean out and see how that goes. Could be a simple as that or much more needs to be investigated.

Goodluck and hope its not too much of a headache in getting this issue resolved.

haha same sigh i had just few days ago and shaun at bootsworx fixed for me....first thing you can do take your AFM off clean it properly and then you have to cut open AFM and resolder all the joints in side.

Thats what shaun did for me and car touchwood fine since...

    • 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!
    • 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.
