Hi Crew, long time reader. First time poster.
1992 1hz 80 series.
Engine rebuild only 60 thousand km ago.
Runs like a dream. No smoke. Plenty of power.
BUT. She's all of a sudden doesn't like starting when hot. Cold start in the morning is perfectly normal.
But a hot start and she's struggling. I've read here and other forums and tried plenty of things. Fuel flow is good, battery is good. Air filter is freshly cleaned, oil changes every 5-6000km
Then I found a post about a hot injector pump (also fresh rebuild 60 thousand km ago with new injectors) and cooling the injector pump with water from a hose helps it start.
So I found a solution to get me out of trouble but I didn't find the ultimate solution.. I've got a diesel injector guru about an hour away but before I take a day off work to go see him I'm asking for other potential things I can check at home....
Thanks
