Is it something that causes the EGR pipe to get extra hot? Definetely seems like this is becoming FAQ material. |
Perk,
All 1FZ-FE equipped 80s are candidates for problems with the engine wiring harness. This problem was identified many years ago; at least 6 years ago that I know of. It has been suggested many times for new owners to wrap this area with heat tape as part of their base-lining.
The EGR pipe will get hotter on extended trips. As you point out, if this has not been added to the FAQ then it should be. Both the PM, the problem identification, and the problem resolution. Can you confirm that this is NOT in the FAQ?
-B-
