HDJ81 Loss of power

[Andrew VanBoxel]

Hey everybody,

I was cruising at about 40 mph the other day in my HDJ81 and I lost all power. The truck would not go over about 15 or 20 mph. Funny thing, although I had no power, it seemed like it was revving much higher than it should. It sounded like around 1500 to 2000 rpm's, though it wasn't reading anything on the tachometer (it was reading basically 0 rpm's).

Any idea what might be wrong here? I just bought the truck and I'm still learning a lot about them. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

That sounds bad. Keep us apprised on your progress. Good luck.

Auto? Is it making smoke of any kind?

I was ready to ask the same question ..

If your turbo went south, then lot's of black smoke .. it might be a fuel delivery blockage .. it might be air inlet blockage ( less probably )

It's not the same vehicle, but someone had a similar issue with their 2LT and it sounds like the issue was the fuel pump:

Hilux Surf 2LT starts but doesn't move

Just a suggestion...
