Hello,
I recently purchased a 1996 Land Cruiser Prado TZ. It’s a RHD 5-speed with 1KZ-TE engine. I bought it from reputable dealer on the east coast and had a third party inspection and vehicle worked great. After purchasing I had vehicle shipped to the west coast and upon arrival it did not start. I had to winch it off the car carrier and tow it to my house where it’s been ever since. I had a local mechanic call the spill control relay valve bad so I ordered a new one and we replaced it but still doesn’t start. The mechanic noticed the CEL light doesn’t come on when key turns ignition to on. Is a bad ECM the culprit or could it be a bad EFI or ECD relay? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. I saw in another forum that Mauser has spare ECM’s but not sure if it’s compatible with this model. Thank you all.
