After 5 years of enjoying my 71 FJ40 I bought on impulse a 91 Prado 2L-TE RHD 60K miles. Great shape bodywise with new head, belts and timing chain.
Pretty much within a week I was getting a lot of smoke on cold start. Starts with heavy black, then after 30 seconds its white then after 2 mins it disappears. No issues with power. At engine temp 55 degrees its much better, it smokes for about 30 seconds and goes from black to white to clear. See pics 1-3 at 10 second intervals.
Had glow plugs replaced, then rebuilt injectors, rebuilt fuel pump, timing checked, pressure tested, fuel lines replaced, all filters changed and much more. The cost was substantial. I admit I failed to do the research on the 2L-TE, its on me. Anyway I need help. Does anyone have any idea what I should look at next, turbo, EGR ??. or something simple hopefully. Any help appreciated.
Thanks
