RZN169 Poor fuel economy and low/rough idle at cold start up

Hi all,

First time writter. Long term reader.

I have a RZN169r 1999 Toyota Hilux 3rzfe Manual 4WD with 425,000KM. Which we have owned from 130,000KM.

Since about the 400,000km mark (it had a new/used 138,000km engine only, installed at 385,000KMs) it has been using fuel and idiling rough. I'm getting 100kms less then usual. We would normally get 450-550kms per tank. Now getting 350km-400kms.

Our long term mechanic of 20 years retired a few years ago and I have no one in my local area who knows these engines or who I trust.

Any sugestions on who I can take my car to? I also have no faith in my local Toyota Dealer. I'm in Sydney NSW.

Thank you in advance.
