Hi Guys
I was on my home today after drinving on and off for about 120 miles today.
On my way back on the motorway cruising at 80 mph I felt a few slght
imperfections in the running of the engine.
I thought for the first one or two times that it could be the road but then
I knew it was the cruiser acting up.
I slowed to 70mph and then 65 mph just to see if there was a difference in
the running.
There was a difference, all the cars that i had passed for miles back now
were passing me and I could swear that the people in the cars were smiling
or was that just me being paranoid.
Well I still felt the imperfections every so often but not too many of them.
It was like a little miss fire or jerk , but only for a split second and
then it was gone.
I got to within 1 mile of my house and at a roundabout the cruiser just
died.
Not that nice a thing to find you have a steering like a bumper bar and
brakes to match.
I got a tow home from a passing neighbour and now I would like to know a
few things.
I thought the engine might be seized but I checked the oil level and it
seems ok.
I tried to start it and it wont hold revs at idle at all.
I tried to start it and rev it but it just dies after a split second at rev.
I started it and it will rev from the engine bay but will not keep idle
rev.
I only tried this for a few seconds and let it die.
So I think if the engine was seized it would not start and run at all.
I pumped the hand pump and it started but then died.
I tried to keep it running from the trottle in the cabin but it dies.
When revved and it dies I can hear the what appears to be the turbo spining
for a second and then it stops but I think this is normal.
I have power to everything electrical.
I took out the air filter and its fine.
Any ideas would be welcome before I let Toyota have it on monday or tuesday.
I did fill up with Diesel this morning and yes I checked it was Diesel with
the receipt just in case I filled it with petrol, but it was Diesel.
cheers
