Anyone had this Issue
The warning lights only come on for a split second, The car gives a "cough" then runs fine again for a little while then does it again, I have tried the OBD2 scanner trick but since it is only a split second it doesnt come up with anything hence me changing out sensors etc to try that route, Its got to be an electrical fault like you mention but its one of those head scratchers. -

Appears that you have thrown the "Parts Cannon" at this problem. This is an expensive approach. Better approach is to use diagnostics to actually determine the causes then start the eliminations to finally resolve the issue. Appears to be an intermittent issue caused by a bad electrical connection to the sensor instead of the actual sensor. Have you used an OBDII scanner to determine if there are any error codes, especially pending codes? It may be necessary to do a scan when those warning lights are displaying. -

Anyone had this Issue
Hi All, Got a weird one here over the ditch, I have a 2004 Vitz/Echo/Yaris with the 2SZ-FE engine, Ran great for years for commuting to work but now has developed an annoying issue, When driving along the car will give a sudden *****, The High temp light comes on and the engine check light comes on when it does it and it only happens for a split second then goes out and the car runs fine until it does it again, It will sit and idle fine for ages with no issues, I changed the plugs, plug holders and coils, Changed the crank angle sensor, Cam sensor, Water temp sensor, VVT sensor, Have taken every plug i can see off and cleaned them with contact cleaner and yet the fault is still there, At present i have disconnected the battery to try and clear the ECU, Kind of running out of ideas here, Anyone else got any cunning plans out there??? Thanks -

Landcruiser 200 suspension upgrade opinions with GVM Upgrade, OME BP51?
I went with the Lovell GVM upgrade via TJM Geelong. They did a great job. My rig has the usual goodies, bullbar, winch, drawer system under body armour etc. It gives about a 50mm lift on the back. With my rig fully loaded and the caravan on (200KG ball weight) remarkably I end up with the same trim position, i.e. wheel arch height as the day I picked the car up from the dealer. I have never had even the tiniest issue with the set up. -

Leather steering wheel cover on VX LC 200 series falling apart
Had the same problem on mine, when the vehicle was just out of warranty. My local Toyota dealer however refused to even talk to me about it. Ended up with a replacement via EC Offroad. Ended up with a better wheel than standard. -

Cheers ZZT86! No idea how much longer I'll keep it, probably the rest of my life at this rate but I've never had doubts that it wouldn't travel this far if I'm honest compared to my old Honda that's for sure.- 1

MY21 Hilux interior lights not working
Hey sarge, I also got a mine spec Hilux 2017 in Queensland. exact same issue happening for me but it’s just the gear selector and PWR/ECO mode lights. Any update of this?! Did you manage to fix it? was it a fuse or bulbs? Thanks mate! -

Congratulations mate ! The 2ZZ engines are a pretty awesome engine tbh, apart from a few early "lift" bolts snapping in half & the potential for the dreaded VVTi controller letting go, I reckon they're virtually bomb proof. Personally I had a ZZT231R Celica ZR for 13.5 wonderful years, changed the oil religiously every 5K kms & the engine just kept on singing. I too reached that magical km figure towards the end of my ownership just before I got my new Hachi. I don't think the FA20 is anywhere near as robust & doubt it will last like the Celica did. I'll never forget the feeling of hitting 6K rpm when the engine just woke up & kept on revving sweetly to 8.5K rpm - very Honda VTEC. Look after it & it will look after you 😉- 1

LC 300 Engine Maintenance Required
Hi same issue with my LC300 (engine maintenance required, visit your dealer). Carbon build up on injector they say. “Known issue they say”. “No permanent fix they say”, other than to keep taking it back to dealer to have injectors cleaned. Happened twice now- November and again last week. I am still 4500km from next scheduled service.
