Ah ok. Changed the SCV on mine but not done the map filter. Presume this is the mass air flow meter filter?

You said you changed "scv, gas filter" Not sure to what you refer?

I can't see an obvious way to start and remove the back door card from my 120. Presume it is clips but thought it would be better to ask here before I attempted to take it off. Any advice? Thanks

I have a new plan, it's called soundproofing! Mines a manual and there should, according to the Toyota mech I spoke to be a dose of soundproofing around the top of the gearbox. There's nothing there at all . It's not a noisy vehicle at all but it was the first thing the mech noticed. Doubt I...

Well I have to take their word for it and move on. There is a clue in the fact that the noise on my engine quietens down considerably when it comes upto temperature.......................just I don't know what that clue is telling me.....

That remains to be seen. Strangely enough in this last week the Cruiser has been starting better with no lumpiness or smoke and that was before it went to the dealer.

Ok, latest update for those of you who haven't lost interest. Cruiser has been at my local Toyota main dealer to have the injectors coded. It was in for two hours and they told me that my vehicle doesn't require the injectors coding which is what others have told me but now I have heard it from...

Ah ok, those have been replaced. Going to take the vehicle to a Toyota specialist across the Border, it's a bit of hike for me but it might but it might clarify the injector confusion and other stuff.....

Ah that might be a possible solution then, thanks

Both garages are local to me. One is a specialist engine builder who replaced the injectors for me, the other is a local garage with an excellent reputation with a all singing all dancing diagnostics that reveals all. The vehicle has not been to Overland Cruisers, they are way down south and I...

The engine in mine is definately a D4D, that I do know. I would be really happy if the advice I have been given is b*llocks. At the moment I don't know what to believe or what I should think. This complete injector coding and compensation values is a not something profess to know much about so...

Seems to know his stuff with 120s. I also quiried this with the reputable garage that fitted the new injectors and they told me the same thing? Who should I believe? I hoped they were wrong and it might be the cure but it appears not to be the case sadly. We have checked the ECU fault codes on...

Thanks for your replies, I was also sceptical about the codes and I have checked up and spoken to people who understand these things better than me ( Overland Cruisers ) and it is correct on my age of engine no codes are required. SCV?

My 2004 120, is a great starter and runner, but always run rough until it has warmed through. I wait whilst it goes through the prime cycle before I fire it up and although it starts instantly everytime the idle is lumpy to start with, almost as if it has a slight misfire. The injectors have...

Ok thanks I will investigate
