    Love my FJR but frustrated today

    Oh, me of little faith. I found that when I connected the carbtune device I accidentally knocked off a separate vacuum line on number 1 throttle body. Hooking that back on was all I needed. Synced the throttle bodies, now it has a great idle and plenty of “go”. No check engine light. Now...

    Yes, codes 61 and 62 and 3 seem to be a problem. 3 reads 0, 62 reads 4 and 62 reads 12, 24, then 30

    Also get very little vacuum showing on carbtune at idle. Sounds like valve timing could still be screwed up?

    Started it up yesterday, rough idle but sounded good. I planned to do TBS today. After carbtune was connected, started up and noticed “check engine” light on. Oil and coolant levels are okay. Is this common with TBS or is something else wrong? 2004 FJR gen 1.

    Wow, that was difficult, but I finally got pretty good at checking the position of the cams, even the exhaust. Valves checked and successfully adjusted, timing checked and adjusted, so now comes putting it back together.

    First Valve Clearance Check

    I can see that It did jump a tooth, but decided to do the valve clearance check while I was in there. Then I will adjust the timeing. I have a good handle on retracting the CT, but was not confident of the screwdriver staying in place. The vice grips seem to be the solution. I seem to...

    First Valve Clearance Check

    Just completed my first valve clearance check (shop did previous) found 1 intake and 3 exhaust readings out of speck. Readings are: Intake: .006 .006 .005 .006. 006 .006. 006 .006 . Exhaust : .006 .005 .007 .006 .007 .007 .007 .007 Since issues are with cylinders 1 and 2, I plan to just tilt...

    Interesting idea. Does seem easier than the mirror process on the exhaust side. I expect the only tooth alignment problem is between the crankshaft and the camshafts. I assume this would work for fixing that as well.

    I’m convinced I did get the chain off by a tooth. BIG mistake on my part. Now I don’t have the confidence or probably the skills to fix it. My favorite shop is moving and won’t be able to get me scheduled unti December some time.

    Okay, I had forgotten that about the headlights. So all electrical checks out okay. I unplugged the fuel pump and it started and ran till out of fuel. Plugged fuel pump back in and it started, but does not run well. During CCT change I did not wire tie the chain, as one of the threads...

    I've been gaining a lot of knowledge from this forum and have enjoyed riding my 2004 FJR gen1. I recently heard a clicking noise and at 60,000 miles, after consulting these pages, decided to replace the CCT. Tight spaces, but that seemed to go pretty well, and I changed the plugs while I had...
