1kz-te shutting down by itself! (engine failure?) Help....
Hi there.
After running my spouse's KZJ71 M/T 1kz-te 3000cc engine for a couple of minutes, being it in the morning or any other time of the day (as long as it asent been runed any time before of the day), the engine shuts down by itself. All panel light and front lights won't be affected. First the check engine light comes slowly on, till it's fully on, then the engine shuts down. It will start on easily immediately afterwards with a turn of the key. Then it will die again. This will go on for several times, until the engine gets hot. Until then, the check engine light will gradually light up less intensively, and eventually will stop coming on, and the engine will stop shutting down. Also, wille driving, before it stops shutting down, the check engine light will be less or more bright according to higher or lower revs respectively. Even on idle it will die before getting hot.
Check engine diagnosis says there are no stored error codes!
What a mystery. What could it be? Can someone please help me?
Many thanks.
Cheers,
