Hi Gang!
Excited to be a part of the forum.
I just impulse bought a Prado Turbo Diesel 2LTE 1990. I love it, but have already had a world of problems. Two oil leaks, a fuel leak, a dead solenoid and hub issues.... YAY!
My new concern are both the glow plugs, or alternately the temperature sensor. It's been unseasonably cold here in Vancouver. About -10 C for the last couple days. When I start up the truck, in "Pre Heat" light has only been staying on for definitely less than 1 full second. I'm trying to remedy this by switching the vehicle on an off the get that little preheat going at least a few times before turning on the engine itself. Black smoke, either way.
My question is, with the "Pre Heat" light for the glow plugs being so minimal, is it likely that I should be changing the sensor first before the glow plugs?
