Thanks again Shayne. Very helpful. I've forwarded along.

This is great! I've forwarded to the mechanics. Could be onto something. Thanks for your help!

Checked through it, didn't see anything. I recently replaced the ignition switch, before all this happened, and it worked fine. Engine turns over. I don't want to have to buy a "new" fuel pump. This is great! I just ordered it. And thanks for the link to the other manual. My mechanic will...

Not snowing! It's 85F right now. Haha! Thanks for the response. Any idea where I can get a wiring diagram? Anyone else out there have ideas?

Hi Shayne - Thanks for the response. I phrased the previous message poorly. There's no glow to the glow plugs Hi Shayne - Following up here. The spill valve isn't getting any power, that's the problem. So, the mechanics are looking for a way to troubleshoot the electrics getting to it. Any...

Good news! Mechanics were able to get the solenoid off, clean, and now it's working correctly. New problem though. Injectors getting fuel, but no spark. Mechanics have asked if I have an electrical reference, which I don't -- so that's ask #1. Is there are repair reference that I could get...

Wow! That's great. Trying to get my '97 running (or my mechanic is). A little more complicated getting it running in the US...

Thanks Shane. I'll ask them to do that. If not, I'll look for the part.

Howdy folks! I'm making some progress in getting my Colllie running. It's cranking now (previous thread about ignition problems has been solved, I'll post there when I know all the details), but fuel isn't making it to the engine. Right now, mechanics tell me that fuel isn't getting beyond...

Hi Gary - Just circling back on this. I haven't had a chance to do any further troubleshooting, but wanted to send another piece to the puzzle. Right before all of this started happening -- and the last time I really drove the LC -- the temp shot up really fast on a very short drive. Last...

Hi. I'm not sure how to do that, but I don't think this is the case. Snowing again here today, so it's under several inches of snow.

1. Power locks aren't working, analog clock not working.

Absolutely nothing. Batteries are charged, no power in the vehicle at all. I guess I'll wait for it to warm up. Any other thoughts?

Gary - Thanks for the pictures! It snowed here last weekend and I've not been able to get back to this. Charging batteries and replacing ignition switch today to see if that will allow me to get it started. If so, then I can pull into garage and further troubleshoot.

I guess this might be underneath... didn't think of that when I took the picture. :)

Gary - This is an education for me, so I will have stupid questions. I understand what you're saying and if I can start it, then I can move it to a better space to work on it. Where in the picture below is this located?

For others that may be looking at this, yes, the ignition problem is most pressing, if I can get it started then can troubleshoot the coolant system -- unless someone thinks they are related? Right now, batteries are charged and when I move ignition to start, car goes dead. No starter...

Hi Gary - it's the 95 then, 5 door is what I have. I've got a thread going in the model 90 forum if you want to come join. Radiator blew and was replaced, more in the other forum. It's the ignition that is the most pressing issue. Won't ever turn over.

Hi Bob - Not losing coolant, but it hasn't run now for a couple of months b/c I can't start it. The old radiator was a mess and has been replaced and proper coolant installed. It wasn't flushed, but all "coolant" was replaced when the old one burst. I'm sure it had water in it. History of...

For those interested, here's the ruptured radiator...

Hello! Recently came into ownership of a 1997 Land Cruiser Colorado with 3.0 TD engine (1KZ-TE, model 95?). My goal is to get it running, and it was running until recently. I've never taken on a project like this, and although I am handy and can fix things, I'm just not sure where to start on...

Hi Gary - I checked, it does have the 1KZ-TE engine. I also looked at the VIN/Serial Number on the firewall, it says model is KZJ95... Does that mean 95? I'll post and see what kind of response I get, and will check out the UK FB group too! Thanks!

And yes, 97

Hi Gary - Diesel. I'm thinking of posting in the Model 90 forum with my issue, hopefully someone can help.

An update to the above. I replaced the ignition cylinder, not coil!

Hi All! Some basics to get this going... I've got a 97 Colorado TD (Model 95?) with 180K+ miles here in the USA -- Northern Virginia in particular. I don't have any big plans (yet) for it, I'd really just like to get it running more consistently. My brother and I purchased this last year and...
