P0303, rough idle, check VSC message.
Very happy to report success! I did it by just removing the cowl, didn't touch the plenum or anything else. I only changed the one plug and coil. They both look fine. The plug was a NGK DILFR6D11. The coil was a VDO brand. Replaced with the same plug $23 and a $55 coil from Goss Mechtronics. I used the masking tape method to mark the wipers position on the windscreen. I removed the right side bonnet strut at the top and used a stick to hold it open from the from. It made it much easier. Idle nice and smooth and the error code is gone. Fingers and toes are crossed. Thanks for the comments. -

Engine upgrade ideas for 1991 LN106 3L
Looking for ideas on a reliable engine upgrade for a Hilux 1991 LN106 3L. Just in the early planning stages at the moment. Located in Queensland - reliability, "non-electronic" and road legal are main priority areas for me, happy to go turbo. Not looking for crazy perfomance but something better than the stock standard (and now tired) 3L. Any ideas fromt the brains trust would be great! -

Thanks. I'm counting on the code being correct. 🤞 No apparent surging, just rough idle. It feels ok at a persistent 60kph but the engine warning light starts to flash at any acceleration thereafter. Slow and steady feels ok. It looks like I will have some time after all...so I'll get some gaskets/seals/parts and have a go. This video seems pretty good. https://youtu.be/ING-RK7NJ-c?si=S7i8rLRlDaKEp94i This one too... -

Poor performance, surging can also be related to dirty/clogged fuel filter I forget the maintenance schedule for these, but in any car it's more of a 'do when you need to' routine -

CH-R sudden engine failure
I fought with Toyota for the last 6 months on this issue. I attempted to reject my vehicle due to safety and Toyota began to investigate my request. During this time they offered me a new engine. I asked if a new engine would affect my rejection claim and they said no. After this they rejected my claim and I supposedly have no further argument as essentially the new engine was a satisfactory response to a major failure under consumer rights. After months Toyota still won't tell me what damage there was that required my engine to be replaced. Other than confirming carbon build up on the manifold months prior to engine replacement. They will not give me any information. Everyone I speak to tells me they cannot comment. I never wanted the repair because the problem is so common I don't feel the repair was enough to prevent a reoccurrence. I even asked for confirmation that a repair would be enough to prevent further occurrence and that the vehicle was safe and would no longer lose power on acceleration. They responded to this with a letter stating Toyota could not provide the information or guarantees I had requested.
