Hi guys just wondering if anyone can help me out, my car has trouble starting pretty much all the time, it cranks for a while before it decides to start (most times roughly 10 times it cranks for, it never used to be this bad) the battery and alternator are all ok and everything is charging ok, in some cases it doesnt start and keeps crankin till it flattens the battery

The only thing i can think of is the fuel pump as it is cranking but there isnt any fuel there??... i could be wrong..

Anyone had trouble like this?? anyone can gimme any suggestions

Thanks guys

you have probably done this already, but check fuses. Failing that if its an external pump locate it, give it a fkn smack. try starting up again. they get jammed, i guess this can happen as a result of a mechanical problem or from running the tank right near empty and its sucked in a whole load of crap.

yeah when i hook a battery to it, it still cranks a little while but starts, i will try change the battery regardless as its still the original one,

once car is started it runs like a dream:)

plugs where changed not long ago so im assuming they are all ok

I will change the battery and take it from there

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
