Hi all,
Recently brought a new to me landcruiser - im impressed with it!
But last week it died on me, engine management light came on, no power.
Quick google brought up the accelerator position sensor plug, on the top left of the engine, checked all the plugs, seemed fine, even did the wiggle test, no change.
I googled how to read the computer on the landcruiser - which brought me here to learn and setup Techstream on my Mac using Virtual box (thanks too all those that documented that!!)
Using Techstream I was about to get the code 14(4) which was described as a Timing Control System Malfunction - sounds expensive!!
A deeper google with the above brought up the sensors on the fuel pump, the spill valve, timing control valve, engine speed sensor, fuel temp sensor and another sensor (forget its name)
So I went inspecting them plugs and wires - someone has already been in there as the wires where cut, soldered and insulated before -- so I re-did them all, without any luck.
I had the exact same issue as this post - but they dont mention the part number
Thats when I came across links to individual pages of the FSM like this
Which then lead me to a complete PDF of the FSM, which listed readings for the sensors resistence - which I tested them all, sure enough the Timing Control Valve was the culpit, I think it was reading about 200 ohms, when it should be 10 - 14 ohms.
Next task - no one, not even toyota want to sell you that part, they want you to buy a full pump......so your faced with buying a recondition pump for....say about £1k here in the UK, just because a sensor goes bad.
My dad has an 80 series with the 1hdt in it.....even though I like the power of the 1hdfte, that motor and pump seems much more bullet proof than this combo right now.
Anyway tracked down a sensor - for those in a similar position who have tested the timing control valve resistance and are looking for a part number, this is it - denso 096360-0580
I found it stocked locally only an hour away from me at this place - Denso Suction Control Valve 096360-0580
So I was really lucky.
Fitting it consisted of taking off about 3 injector pipes, the pump stay bracket on the back and undoing the two bolts that held it in - pretty simple to do through the passenger wheel arch.
Although now seems to be more ticky that what I remember :/ so thats something I need to keep an eye on.
Anyone have any recommendations for a pump thats a bit "ticky"?
Any questions ask away
Liam
