Take a mate, a couple of blankets and about 60 foot of Telecom Rope with you. Open four windows. Throw blanket on roof. Place bar (wrapped in blanket) on roof. Tie down through open windows the bar to the roof with Telecom Rope. Drive home carefully with you and your mating holding bar...

All you need is a long Breaker Bar on a socket and a good battery to operate the starter motor, But be careful you disconnect the DFM plug (or all spark leads) so it wont fire-up and be sure you place the bar next to the correct side of the chassis, so it don't smash stuff!

Please read what was said carefully! My first thought was resistance in the plug. Resistance = heat! The fuse should melt before those things in the pictures, but if you got a bad crimp, then you got heat! The connector on the wire under the base where the relay plugs into is getting hot. This...

joeyd, You sent me a PM, I tried to reply, but your inbox is full - you need to delete old messages. Here is the answer to your question to me; Yeah mate, I have never cleaned the Intake or IAC myself, but its a case of unplug and unbolt, remove electric components, then clean the intake...

BerlinaBen, You are correct! The problem is that people don't want to spend the money to do the job right in the first place! As long as "it looks cool", who cares is what I think the current consumer society wants, be it for a quick sale or to impress their mates! I know that 99.9% of women...

OK, Thanks! Then I got to investigate what the go is in this Hilux. Ignition switched (I think) power to red and pink;

Got to s aelf serve wrecker, plenty of V6 engines left in cars these days. You decide to pay or pocket!

You can insert the VR Manual ECU into the VP only. If is is an auto ECU, then NO fit! If you do use the VR ECU, you will also need the BCM signal and key, unless you get the memcal reprogrammed.

Now we know that bear76's problem was the timing chain snapping, can I offer a safer alternative to your suggestion? I would suggest, although injectors dont move, a length of garden hose or poly pipe instead of the long screwdriver! A long screwdriver in the hands of a clutz can be hard to...

So Brett, is this another engine where a open valve will hit a piston, I can add to my list? Not a smart-arse question, because I really don't know. And I thought Toyota 4 Cyl Diesels were bad!

This is what I'm alluding too! You will definitely know you have an issue when you start getting cream under the cap over a few days or weeks and there is engine overheating, so keep an eye on the temp gauge as much as is safe to do and I don't think you can save anything by pulling the engine...

Oil under the radiator water cap is only a good sign of oil in the water if you know it was not there from when the previous owner had the car. OF COURSE, something everyone does when the do a pre-purchase inspection is check for oil on the bottom of the cap right? And if they didn't do it then...

This one is the best looking of the lot; How much rust is lurking under her shiny exterior is the big mystery! I wonder how "the builder" forgot to hide them before he went bust!

I was under the impression, these lights must have a lens and be correctly aimed to drive with them on in clear conditions and they are now called "Day Lights"! Whats the deal?

Isn't the Red wire to the front pin of the DFM also needed to get spark? (or is that another loom?)

They do have current limiting resistors! This is why, they don't fry in a hurry! What is needed to correct the flash rate, is a resistor that has very little current resistance, with the same operating principal as an element on a kitchen stove! Gets hots, but does not melt!

Are they your legs mate? If so, I always imagined them to be a lot fatter for some insane reason!:rofl2:

What about Rare Spares? They may know! There are also many after-market performance shops around too! www.yellowpages.com.au

ebay is your friend!

Check that you have 12 volts or more when ignition is on on this pin on the DFM plug; I know this a S1 DFM and coils, but the S2 is the same pin for power supply to have spark. Also, if you have power here, check there is good earth return and also one of the wires going to the CAS might be...

I'm still on to my missus about how "Arrxd" is actually pronounced "Asked"! Don't worry mate! Your error was just another one I deal with daily, then I get on the piss and saw yours! Nothing to see here guys, move along!

I had a VN that the petrol was leaking out of the Carbon Canister next to the radiator. For some reason it wouldn't stop leaking. Have a look there.

There is no S in Patrick, unless you forgot to use punctuation!

Then there is the option of getting a MEMCAL with the BCM code by-passed. Will the auxiliary BCM functions still work with the bypass programmed?

Worn brushes in the Alternator Regulator. Easy five dollar fix if you have the tools and the brushes from an auto elec. You will need to be able to competently use a small soldering iron.

OK, you can believe this guy ^. PS, I got a factory VR V6 man ECU in my Hilux!

The ECU is totally different, no auto commands or cam angle sensor needed. So you are better off getting a VN - VR manual engine loom for the engine and equivalent ECU. You will not be able to run the current VR auto ECU!

Lots of nice work there!

Sorry STEALTHY™ I blame alcohol when I was posting.

Sorry g3tnakd295, I couldn't resist at the time. I was really pissed at the time! Gotta stop heavy drinking in the morning after a long shift, then posting messages!

Perhaps the injectors are not getting power. The front oil pressure switch controls fuel pump after starting. You may have shorted a wire down there, same fuse I think for EFI relay and also check the fuel pump relay and all fuses.

It would be a fuel problem if you got spark - If it was an electronic problem, the engine would still run in Limp Mode at the worst. I know you said it before, but be sure you have spark to all cylinders. You played with the CAS, so are all wires still intact and is there 12-13 V going to the...

NOT the same as SA. Differenet sex leader, different IQ, different time zones. Can never be the same, because! :)

SA is not QLD! Do you live in Elizabeth?

I'm sick of this! First it's school kids bashing teachers and getting away with it! Then there was the 16 Y/O male schoolies arranging the gaoling of horny 38 Y/O female teachers after getting free sex! Now parents are giving schoolies Commodore utes! WTF is the world coming to now? Are you...

Unless there is a serious QLD Gov employee style blunder, There is not a Snow Flake's chance in hell the same letter and number combination will be issued twice! The DOT has nothing to do with it. The legal implication are horrendous if such a blunder has occurred. I'm calling the 0 is actually...

So that's the reason, the 0 is actually O, a letter. Perhaps you could offer your set to him and he will have a "pigeon pair" to offer and you could say that when they sell, he pays you for them then!

I remember someone else here found one of the wires going from DFM plug to CAS plug was broken, so check continuity of all of them.
