I’ve only recently joined the forum after lurking around for a while.
quite amazing the breadth and depth of knowledge that’s apparent here.
anyway to my request for knowledg.
I have a 1997 Prado with almost 300,000 kms on its 1kz motor.
I’ve noticed it for a while now, but it appears to be down on power.
it used to pull the boat uphill relatively easily, but now I’m having to give her the shoe and rev to 3.5k to keep at a sedate 85kph.
standard setup, with egr intact.
Serviced every 5000kms,
engine flush done very 10,000km
fitted a snorkel and 3.5inch stainless exhaust to help her breath.
I’ve noticed a wee bit of oil around the back of the intercooler.
I realise it’s tough to diagnose remote, but I’d be keen to hear from those in the know , where do I start looking to give the old girl her life back?
thanks in advance
