Again, thanks for the help, Lefty, with a noob ... Afterall, I'm a Biologist, not an Engineer!

Ok, will do. Yes, have a good fluke multimeter with uF (so that's what that's for ),

Thanks very much for the tips. Very helpful.

If radio shack does not have, can you recommend a good online (searchable website) source?

I might start with the easiest and most like to fail, those three electrolytic caps. They should be marked with their capacitance and voltage rating. Those caps are almost thirty years old. You may even be able to find replacements at Radio Shack. Unsolder them and put in replacements being sure to...

Why do you think it's the board and not a sensor, wiring, corrosion, etc...? It's difficult to see from the picture, but is that a cracked track by the red arrow below? It might be worth re-flowing all the connections in any case if you haven't got anything to lose :-/. I've checked all sensors, wi...

Here's one on eBay from a 76: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Toyota-Land-Cruiser-FJ40-Emission-Control-Module-very-clean-/130890675725?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e79b1360d&vxp=mtr And only a penny.

Have you cleaned the contacts on the green connector?

I have, but could prolly use some de-oxit, on male and female sides...

Here are some links to full, high-res images, if that helps.

Got a photo of the damage? No "damage" that I can see. Nothing obviously burned, top or bottom - And I checked the solders on the back. Problem is supposed to be some of the connections for the green connector crack, but again, I checked them with a multitester, though I'm really a novice at this s...

Well, it's a simple PCB (for emissions control) from a mid-80s Toyota. Part is long discontinued ... I'm asking here because the Toyota forums have no idea. Since I used to collect Tube Amps for 78 rpm record playback, I thought this would be a better place to find a source... :) Just looking for a ...

Can anyone recommend a place for PCB repair, best in or around Los Angeles / San Fernando Valley area, but shipping is alright, too.

Thanks very much
