hey guys.. just wonderin, has anyone experienced not being able to rev to 8000+? about a week or two ago i accelerated hard in first with a cold engine.. soon after i hit lift (around 7000rpm) my car hit a barrier, like it was at its limit.. i tried again a couple of minutes later but to the same effect.. but about 10 min later, after engine warmed up, it was all fine.. was this a saftey system in the car designed by toyota to stop fools (me) destroying the engine? should i be concerned? people.. first time ever its acted up.. thanks for your input..

You will get flamed for this, should do a search before posting new topics mate.

But to answer your question, yes its designed to pro long the life of the engine.....

No offence, but what the hell are you doing revving it that high when the engine is cold?!?!

Please close thread

good to see the comedians are out in this topic ......

to answer ur question yes its a safety feature by toyota ..... U SHOULDNT BE USING LIFT WHEN THE CAR IS COLD ...... the reason it reved to 7K rpms was it stayed in the low cam i.e. it NEVER actually engaged lift ...... i would suggest u change ur driving habits when ur car is cold or it wont last very long

i worry myself taking it over 3,500 when its cold lol...warm your car up before you drive it, or you're gonna start having problems putting all that strain on your motor when its cold!!!

probably about 4,000 is the max i'll go ay. all the chickies at the college look at me when i give it a little stab up to 4,000 when leaving work (intake ftw)

Drove my rolla for the first time in 4 days, and I would have been lucky to coax it to 4K. Idles terribly when cold! I think it's the engine warning me not to do anything to hasty, Master Meriadoc.

      Is the Hybrid FWD download capacity on towbar an error?

      Hi all, We managed to snag a fwd Cruiser recently from a dealer. Great car but I’m reading about the tow capacity and towball download capacity and it’s 480kg for towing and 50kg download limit. This seems extremely conservative. The FWD Petrol version is 800kg tow and 85kg download. Pretty disappointed in these numbers as I added the tow hitch for $1200 just so I can add a bike rack but based on the 50kg download limit I’d be hard pressed to put 2 bikes and the rack on it. Any ideas why these numbers are so low? Download limits are usually around 10-12% of tow capacity so maybe they just haven’t considered this?

      P0356 - Ignition Coil 'F' Primary Control Circuit/Open

      Thanks Ashley. Got lucky last time too as it was cylinder 4 last time a coil failed. The luck will eventually run out tho...

      P0356 - Ignition Coil 'F' Primary Control Circuit/Open

      Your are fortunate that cylinder 6 is easily accessible on the right hand side of Bank 2 which is the one closest to the front of the vehicle/radiator. Cylinder layout for the 2GR-FE is in the following URL: https://www.toyotanation.com/threads/location-of-cylinder-6-v6.470305/

      Power Steering Pump Leaking

      Yes repair cost would be so high it would be more than the car is worth. I wouldn't put an additive in the engine to stop an oil leak, but that's just me. If it plugs up gaps what's it doing to the rest of the engine with fine mesh filters etc. If the leak isn't bad I'd just leave it but make sure you are checking the oil every week, which you should be doing anyway without leaks.

      P0356 - Ignition Coil 'F' Primary Control Circuit/Open

      Hi All, Got the above engine code driving home tonight. I know ignition coil F is cylinder 6 and it's on the front bank, just want to confirm with the brains trust that it's the cylinder on front bank on the passenger side? Been combing the workshop manual but just can't find where it shows the cylinder numbers.

      Major Oil Leak

      Hi Jack. So sorry to hear that mate. If you can see metal flakes on the dipstick then I'd say the engine is toast. The VVTi system is very sensitive to low oil pressure/lack of oil. The metal flakes are most likely bearing material, either from the camshaft or the crankshaft. Either way you'll need a new engine or to rebuild it. Did you have the oil cooler line or the VVTi oil line replaced with full metal ones?

      Fuel gauge wander

      Hi guys. I have a 2002 Toyota Coaster and have changed my fuel tank sender and when I drive the fuel gage needle moves up and down about 1/8th of a tank depending on if I am accelerating or decelerating. I can’t personally remember if it used to do this before I changed the faulty sender or not. Just today I removed the instrument cluster and changed out the caps on the two boards for the fuel/temp and the tachometer gauge sets and reinstalled but no difference. I checked the orientation of the sender, however it can only go in one way or the screws don’t line up. Not sure if this slosh wander of the gauge is normal for the Coaster as it doesn’t do it in my Hiace. Just wondering if anyone has some suggestions?

      gas smell when driving hard/takes long to start

      Update: issue came back but worse with rough idling / running a year or so ago. Mechanic diagnosed it as an air filter out of place and reset the codes - issue solved for good. Car is now at 380k and running stronger than ever !😊
