In this video I talk you through how I fixed a timing issue with my Land Cruiser Prado with 1KZ-TE engine. The engine was running fine, with no noticeable roughness, however at idle the engine light would come on. I checked the code using the diagnostics, which came up as code 14.This is a timing issue, where the ECU detects a discrepancy between the actual crankshaft position and the calculated crankshaft position (more than 7 degrees out). This error normally points to a fuelling issue, and after bleeding the fuel system and testing the injector pump control electronics, the light was still present. Ultimately the issue was that the pump was not mounted to the timing case correctly - it was a degree or two miss-aligned with the timing mark. I hope this video helps someone who was having the same problem that I had!
