1988 Toyota Land Cruiser — footwell gets wet only after heavy rain — anyone dealt with this recently?

This is usually cheaper to test than to guess. A pressure test beats staring at a dry driveway if the 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser is losing coolant with no puddle. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. Time, temperature, and whether it's in gear are the notes that actually help a shop. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Intermittent stuff lies if you only catch it once. Move a coil or plug on the 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser if it's cylinder-specific and see whether the code follows. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. On “footwell gets wet only after heavy rain,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Keep sale price, fees, and rate as three different conversations. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

I'd want a measurement, not a hunch. Get a real battery/charging test on the 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. Do that first. I'd rather be boring and correct. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

If it were in my driveway, if a shop can't duplicate it on the 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser, bring a video plus freeze-frame data, not just a story. Save the big job until that test fails. Keep sale price, fees, and rate as three different conversations. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

Ask what changed right before it started. Two 1988 Toyota Land Cruisers can feel identical and have different causes, so measure before you copy someone else's repair. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. No need to make it theatrical. Trying not to diagnose from the couch.

Log the conditions before you spend. If a shop can't duplicate it on the 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser, bring a video plus freeze-frame data, not just a story. That's the branch I'd chase this week. On “footwell gets wet only after heavy rain,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Happy to compare notes if your setup is different. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

That's my plan before I call anyone.

I wouldn't throw parts yet. Write temp, speed, and in-gear vs coast when the 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser does it — then decide on parts. Save the big job until that test fails. This is from a 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser in Florida. No need to make it theatrical. Next check is the cheap one I can do in a driveway.
