Hi All,
New here, I don't even own a Land cruiser as yet but I am looking at the V8 Amazon with interest.
At the moment I am running a Delica 2.8TD, lovely motor I have to say, really nice, spacious etc... and mine might even be higher then a cruiser as it got a little lift
My main question is regarding the Injection pump on the cruiser V8 1999,2001 or 2002 , is it a fly by wire set up, the ECU telling the pump what to inject, or is it a mechanical pump?
I couldn't really find anything regarding on how the set up is
The reason is that I am into alternative fuel, I have been driving for years Diesel on WVO and its more then fine, but I am a little tired of the collecting, filtering process, transferring etc... Also WVO might not become as freely available in the future.
Then I am thinking getting a petrol engine and run it on Fumes or partially on Fumes, not sure yet.
I know there is a section on alternative fuel but its all diesel related as far as I could see ( mostly bio diesel, WVO, aircraft fuel... )and there was no point me posting about the fly by wire there anyway.
My concern about the ECU is, If I turn off the injection pump ( take the relay out or something similar) and run fumes through the intake, would the ECU fly by wire cut off the engine/ boost and no mateer how hard you prss the pedal, nothing is going to make the engine rev?
I use to own a merc fly by wire and it was a pain, if the ECU decided something was not right there was no way you could even move the car...
Hope you all have a great day
Thanks.
