- I have a 1994 HZJ80 GX (non-turbo 1HZ) with 380,000 kms on the clock. For reference, I'm based in Kenya, where our best quality diesel is probably not up to par with average diesel elsewhere, but I only buy diesel from reputable, international companies (Shell, Total, etc.)
- When the engine is cold, it starts basically fine - maybe a little hiccup and a short puff of smoke from the exhaust, but basically fine.
- When the engine is warm (if I switch it off and then on again before it completely cools), it takes at least 2 attempts before it finally sputters to life with a bigger puff of smoke (which then promptly disappears).
- My battery is fine. Engine turns, just doesn't fire up properly
- problem continues despite new fuel filter
- I am no mechanic, but my mechanic is struggling to figure this one out.
Do I need to look at servicing/changing my injectors and/or pump? or might it be something completely different?
Thanks in advance
