    4d56 injection pump shut off

    it did not run at all. I gave up, robbed the hood for my gas LS, AND walked away. so there is no lift pump. I pressurized a weed sprayer, and with it hooked directly to the hose to the pump, post filter, it would run very roughly only on start mode. when releasing the key it will wind down and...

    GEN1 LWB 3.0L Troubleshooting random shutdown - SOLVED

    oso is right on the mark. the transistor switch it proper name escapes me now. that fires the coil, I believe it's part number j1701 or such, will give u that very problem. they seldom die but mine did in a snow squall in reno 600 miles from home then again it really died in anza borrego out of...

    gen 1 , the real montero/pajero. all others are just hopin'. skinny, tidy, precise, and not clumsy. ugly interiors, not like the still-sexy gen 2 interiors. tough as mother love, lot, lot, of deffed maintenance guaranteed. it will take a year to Catch up . noisy, windy, sunroof probably dont...

    Gen 1 front suspension upgrade guidance needed

    I've been offline for a long time, 6 months in the Olympics and all winter on the anza borrego. roughly 11 months in an RTT, is that a record of some kind? anyhoo back at the shop. the suspension up grade "works" , only that.

    GEN1 Steering wheel removal

    in a gen1? we don't have air bags in gen 1 use a puller, if my memory has not failed me, it's pretty standard wheel removal. I put a grant on my gen 1 3 years ago, and I'm sure it was a straight forward pull

    Got a Gen 1 LWB, what now?

    the range rover / explorer front brush guard is almost a bolt on for these rigs.. they come in 4 shades of faded black , depending on age. and they wrap around the front edges pretty closely , enough so that you will not have to modify them. the late sixties to mid 70's warn winch bumper for a...

    GEN1 LWB 6G72 12V Engine Refresh

    may i suggest pulling the block, (easy to do) and sealing it up and reusing what you have? unless there is a very pressing need; piston holes, broken ring (s) , lands etc, the mitsu assembly will be superior to a rebuild unless you plan of a turbo or something viscous. Further the finished...
