As you suggested possibly bad fuel somewhere in the past has contributed to the demise of the injectors. My 2013 150 prado had bad injectors at 175000 approximately. Started knocking on cold start and one injector out of spec. Changed out the set and just clocked 200000. All good now. The fuel filter has some black contamination in the bottom of the filter . Changed the under bonnet filter and tank filter. Next change the filter was quite clean. Regards Gene. By the way these prados are totally awesome vehicles. Just keep them serviced and preventative maintenance and they will serve you well.
As it turned out once it warmed up everything was perfect so this is another example not to jump the gun there may or may not be a problem quite often. Injectors can do this. I’m undecided whether I should make a move on these or not there’s either nothing wrong with them or something wrong with them, hard to work out which one I will monitor for the situation and risk it for the biscuit
Thanks for sharing If using eBay cable and not the Toyota IT3 OTC it is good to choose specific categories in the drop down list when using Live data rather than "primary" or "all". Less values shown at each category and thus much better refresh rates. As for EGR valve at 0%, this happens if vehicle idle for more than 20min😉
every time I service my 79 series I hook up techstream and record live data for future reference to see trends that maybe occurring. you can also code in new injectors with it and other maintenance things, but good to know some other things you just showed like the timing duration of the doors relocking. initially had trouble installing the software but eventually found an online links that installed easily
Loving the vids. Itching to do the injectors you sent. Which AZ scanner for the win? I really miss having access to my mechanic's workshop back in my hometown.
