Greetings from Botswana!
I have owned several Cruisers throughout my life. Currently, my wife drives a 3.4 V6 Prado and I drive my favourite Cruiser, a 100 Series Turbo Diesel with the 24valve 1HDFTE engine.
Currently have an issue with a horrible engine diesel knocking noise, excessive smoke and loss of power.
OBD port diagnostic shown Code 1220, looks like the Timing Control Valve?
Took the cover off the pump and identified the unit. Was hoping to find a broken wire or something, but nothing obvious.
Any advise on how to test:
a) The wires to the unit (voltage, resistance etc)
b) If the above tests good, how do I test the unit itself?
Thanks in advance!
