1kz-te

Hello, As the title says, my KZJ78 with the 1KZ-TE engine is having a tough time starting on the first go around. It continually cranks but doesn't start for an abnormally long time. When it does, white smoke comes out of the exhaust. After researching this, I checked the Glow fuse (which looks...

Last post it was not on the street yet. 83 custom cab with a 1KZ-T turbo diesel 35x12.5r15, R150 five speed, 4.56 gears Highsteer. Since the last post I got it going and working for the street/trails. Bobbed a crusty box, rebuilt the front knuckles, added a winch, inverter, new headliner...

Well, since I bought this car earlier this year, I´ve been slowly fixing it and making a few upgrades. From day one, the old owner warned me that there was poor contact on one of the fuel pump wires (most likely the spill control valve connector), and if the engine didn´t start I should "move"...

Hi there, I have a 1kz-te from a 93 hilux surf in my 91 Toyota 4x4. My starter is beginning to fail ( getting a single click and starting when I tap) and I’m having a hard time sourcing a replacement starter or a starter rebuild kit that can ship to the US. Wondering if anyone has any leads? The...

Hi everyone! I'm looking for an engine wiring harness for my 1997 Toyota Hilux Surf KZN185W. I believe the PN# is 82121-3D171 (60 % sure) but having a difficult time finding it anywhere. I've put a couple inquiries out for overseas but have not heard back. The ECU is good but the existing...

Hello smart car people, I have a 95 series prado 1kz-te that is not taking fuel from the sub tank when i flick the switch. The light on the sub tank fuel gauge comes on and the car does not stall or anything, it just keeps taking fuel from the main tank. I have a copy of the user manuals that...

Hi All, I recently purchased a fairly clean 95’ HZJ78 Prado SX. I am extremely excited to own one of these. Naturally I am a little nervous dailying a 30 year old truck. Thankfully the owner was prudent enough to do some preventative maintenance, which I will list below: Work done before...

I am looking for a spare 1KZ power steering pump for a KZJ78. Part number is 44310-60220. Doesn't have to be new, but does need to be in good enough shape to rebuild. Thanks

Ireland Diesel built me a Mechanical Injection pump to swap into my 1kzte powered hi ace. The Hiace is gone now but the injection pump remains. More power, less funny business. $1200 dollars shipping anywhere in the US included.

Hey all. I had a radiator blow in my KZJ95. I got it towed back to my place. I went ahead and installed a 4runner radiator. Still need to purchase hose adapters. However, when I try and get the engine to turnover, it won't. It just continuously tries to start. I have tried jumping the battery...

I've started to have some issues on some of the higher elevation passes here in Colorado. Had an issue up Berthoud Pass yesterday which is a 6.3% grade at its steepest point. When I get around 2.5k RPM in any gear it will start to stutter and blow some dark grey and black smoke. I cannot get it...

Hey all, Does anyone know what the torque spec is for the exhaust manifold studs for the 1KZ-TE? I just replaced the studs and the Max Ellery manual only lists the torque specs for the nuts, which is 38 ft Lbs. So far I have only torqued the studs down to 10 Ft Lbs because I’m afraid to go...

Anyone know where to get just the O-ring for the spill control valve? If not I can just get the whole seal kit! I'm not having any fuel delivery issues indicative of a bad one, it's just noticeably leaking from the top of the rubber grommet.
