Hi Guys,
I have been enjoying this forum a whole lot, you guys have so much information here that makes life a little easier, thanks to the team for compiling and running it
I have a 1kzte - 3.0td 4wd 1995 Granvia, it's more or less a Prado or 90 series Landcruiser.
I imported it from Japan (via NZ) and it's been my faithful beast of burden for over 10 years, I have a trip round the red continent planned so started doing some routine maintenance (rad, water pump, Heater core, aircon) and now on to the injector pump - And that is where I have incurred some problems.
I had an erratic idle for the last 6 months, upto 950 - 1000 rpm at times, others times 800 - 850.
I had poor fuel economy (17MPG) so serviced the filters in the 3 ports that were straight forward (banjo feed, fuel temp sensor, banjo return) and found just the return was a bit blocked. It took a bit of priming and cranking but she started up again and I got 19MPG from hence forth. - All about a month ago -.
I bought the appropriate crows foot (32mm) wrench and tackled the Spill control valve this past weekend, well I was wrapped as by 10am Saturday morning I'd had her all apart, cleaner the gunked up filter under it and then reassembled. But alas, it wont start. Ive tried every series of priming, and testing, charging the battery throughout.
Iv'e had the valve out numerous times more,
Recleaning the filters and testing the valve, I get a variation of readings between 1.0 to 2.5 Ohms.
We hooked up the valve without inserting it and it clicks as you would expect when ignition is set to on position.
Now, i have checked the injectors, and nothing coming out of the 2 closest to the rad. So my question to you very well informed gentlemen is, is it the spill control valve, the relay or a blockage?
The valve is $800 locally and relay $110. (Aliexpress offers me a valve for $275)
Any input at all would be so appreciated, the diesel guys here won't look at it unless its sitting on there bench, at which point I might as well fork out the $2500 Toyota wants for a new one.
I'm open to any ideas!
