Over heat and now wont start.

[Milligan]

Hi guys my HJ75 1HZ over heated on the freeway and will now not start. That day we had been mud driving. I checked my radiator for mud, was all clean. My battery still has 13V. It cranks once or twice then struggles to crank. Please help thanks guys.

When i pull start she runs and drives but she just doesnt crank on with key

broken piston rings, lack of compresion

broken piston rings, lack of compresion

That would be my guess to. Stuck rings and/or scored bores due to partial heat seizure.
Pull the glow plugs and do a compression test

Possible faulty thermostat caused it to overheat if radiator and cooling system checks out

 

[Milligan]

sounds better and better

 

[Locked79]

For your sake I hope I'm wrong

if you can pull start then you can eliminate internal damage
the heat from the engine baked the starter
would be my guess from 5000 km away.
<start cheap and work up>

I got her started it was just the starter motor everything seema to be running fine. Im going to give the Cooling system a good flush a couple of times and change my thermostat.

i'll take my bow now ....
glad it was a cheap repair.

As you take your bow... I wonder how the 1KZTE is running.
We must remember that swallowing our pride at times in life is necessary. I have done it many times and will do it again.
Don't take this the wrong way, but we are not all perfect. My thoughts were with you along that hole thread. That was a good judgement call.

shrug, the KZ runs great ... till it doesn't anymore then you pull out your wallet for an expensive operation.
Samir's KZ is still running well, while his buddies still isn't. using those odds, it is a 50/50 crap shoot.

Ok i got the 75 nice and warm at 80 km/h. After that I steped it up to 110 km/h after 5 minutes she started to become a little hotter, Running 3/4s on my thermometer. Im now going to try a new radiator i scored off a mate for $100.

ummm, while you are at it, put in an aftermarket temp gauge.

factory ones are glorified idiot lights.

 

[Milligan]

Yea righto i probably would but im selling the car soon

 

[Milligan]
