Turns out the bulb for the engine light was blown. There is no fault codes, yet the engine does not start. Jumping it doesn’t seem to matter..Batteries are dead..

Hello everyone, So my 90 series (kzj95w) has a strange issue. First, when the key is turned there is no engine light on the dash. Engine turns over but no start. Bridging TE1 & E1 does nothing. There is fuel coming out of the injector lines. Battery seems to be draining. Glow plug main wire...

Would love to know the fix for this since I have the same issue. No check engine light at all and te1 & e1 bridge does nothing. Turns over till the battery is dead.. Pulled the glow plug relay because there is power to the rail even after the ignition is switched of..

Hey guys a quick update, Did some research and found the vent valve for the fuel tank. (after watching a video on the pressure released when opening your gas cap) Turns out mine was completely blocked with mud from an outing... I've cleaned that out and while I was at it I replace the fuel...

SC, no voltage on this line... A friend suggested I check the Glow Plug Relay.. What do you think?

Hey guys, I went on a trip a few weeks back and the truck preformed very well. However after I returned I stopped at the market and turned off the truck. When I came out and started I heard a grinding sound while it started... The next day when i tried to start again that grinding noise and...

Thanks Beau,so am I buddy. I’m very happy with the outcome so far. Can be smokey yes. Grayish cloud... I’ve noticed when I turn the key to on position and wait a few seconds I hear the brake cylinder spin. Pretty sure that’s what it is. The glow plug light comes on for a very short time maybe...

Its every start. If I hold the key when starting it takes about 3 seconds or so to start. If I let go of the key and turn again it starts right away.

Thanks SC, I will preform the test you've suggested. I did look for any leaks in the fuel line. But maybe I missed something I will check again.I did have the glow plugs and primer diaphragm in mind. And thank you very much for your assistance.

Ok, Cruiserheads... I received the new solenoids and trans filter and installed. These are the ones I put in. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F2H16CX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The one that failed in my truck was the "Lock up/TCC Solenoid". (Video above to find a...

Hey guys here's a little update. That solenoid that I was getting from shop is not the same as mine. I have since ordered the correct solenoid and strainer.(after triple checking) I found this very helpful. Mine does have a slightly different filter though but same principle. Import tax isn't...

SC, that alternator fuse was already bridged when I got the car back after the rebuild. Also that earth wire @Beau pointed out was also cut. As for the diode test. Guy in that video said, "just because it passes this test doesn't mean it's good". So I went further and disassembled the...

Beau, I think it was that bridged alternator fuse. Strands of some gauge wire was used and it seems with the rough terrain it might have started breaking a while now. when it was down to a few strands it would cause a fluctuation of current from vibrations on the vehicle while off-road. Just a...

Ok Cruiserheads, here's what I've found under the trans pan. After removing the solenoids and testing them I found one of them that does not fire. (click) Inside the pan did not have metal shavings or chips. But there was a black oil or something at the bottom. Might be from the clutch pack? (it...

SC, where the track was broken, I did put a copper strand the same size as the track then soldered it to the track. (Removed the copper from another motherboard and cut it to size) Might look like solder alone but I can assure you there is more there. Got a jump start today and put the...

SC,no fault codes showed up. I'm thinking it was that short in the alternator fuse.. Ok so I repaired it as best as I could and put it back in. I was removing some bolts from the trans pan when I decided to wait and try it out first. So I put 2Qts of trans oil. Wouldn't you know it wont start...

I’m currently working on the ECU. And here’s what I’ve found. Will try to repair it....

No it was not bridged before the rebuild. Yes after a while it was an open circuit. Yes I installed a new 100A fuse. I will be removing the pan to check for metal shavings. And also removing and testing solenoids. I don’t have a clue what caused the damage to the fuse and rebuilder has moved...

Thanks Beau, I don't think the box he has is a correct match. Over the phone he said he saw a stamp on it says 3080.. After looking that up I don't think it matches mine. I will be checking under the sump tomorrow. What do you think of the ECU??

SC, I zoomed in a bit and it might not be all intact. Brings a lot of questions. Are there more bad components on that track? Or elsewhere on the board? What can cause this? I looked there because, when I got the car back after that engine rebuild, I noticed the alternator 100A fuse was...

Quick Update: Took out the ECU after doing some reading last night..Will also drop the sump .. And here's what I've found on ECU.... What do you guys think?

SC, I did some checks on that road driven box today. Guy says it's a 2wd box. Says I can have someone use the parts inside to rebuild mine...Then he says he has a 4wd one... Wants some pics of mine to confirm they match. I was told that my model is all time 4wd? (1ke-te kzj95w-gkpst) @Beau ...

Shayne, I know the ball bearings you are speaking of. The guy doing my transfer case a few months back dropped one in there and had the get a magnet to retrieve it. And I just did the magnet test @StarCruiser suggested but there was nothing in there.. I also checked the trans oil..A couple fine...

Ok SC Thanks. Ill post an update as soon as I have one. I had to sit and think of anything out of place when driving. And since I had the work done on the transfer case there has been one thing that caught my attention. Sometimes when accelerating from a stop, the engine check light would come...

Drained the transfer case oil.. It looks awful. And I'm very surprised at the amount... Not sure but I really think there should of been more in there..

SC, I'm starting to think I should have it rebuilt. Either way I will have to take it down to check it out properly and that will cost... If it gets the rebuild then I know whats in there. Clutch packs/bands, whatever it is. Still have to drop it to confirm....Do you think i should go with a...

Shayne I have not drained it yet but now that you mention it I will. And the transfer case was out few months back as I didn't have 4x4 because the chain was missing. So it was over hauled and the chain added. I don't know if everything was done 100% accurate... But it did seem to work fine...

SC, there is no sound coming from trans. If it were slipping would I hear or feel anything? A grinding or something?

Ok.... Problem and always a solution. Thanks Beau good info as always. I have sourced one when I added the 4x4 chain and honestly I will buy it just to have the parts. But later would be grater... Here's what happened in my case.. Friday jumped in after work and it was a bit sluggish in...

WoW....That kinda stings.... Only been a few months since the engine rebuild...... Say it ain't so Beau....Say it ain't so man....... How can I confirm this? Someone told me today it could be a solenoid in the transmission along with a blocked filter. What do you think? And what would you guys...

SC, I once had the 4x4 shift leaver sort of jump out of place and it did the same thing rev but didn't move. So I checked that by removing the center console and removed the 4x4 shifter to see if that was the case. And it wasn't. Ive tried H,H1,L...But nothing. Gauge shows it's in H right now.

Ok guys here's an update. Alternator 100A fuse was bridged during the engine rebuild.(was damaged). So I put in a new one. Cleaned plug connectors. I also found a wire that might be the earth wire Beau spoke of, it was damaged..(Don't really know if that's the one he spoke of). I drained some...

Beau Thanks for your assistance I will check and clean all wires ,plugs and also the earth wires. Will be working on it tomorrow..

SC, The fluid is over the hot level.... I might have put a bit much for a sump only change? About 4" above the top hot mark.... Changed it last weekend and also cleaned some electrical plugs on the transmission but only the ones from under. I will check all tomorrow. And everything else that...
