Hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction..
I have a 2005 dual cab 4x4, it's the new shape with the D4D engine. It's now done 230,000ks but it seems to be substantially down on power, I've noticed it lately where I have been towing a trailer and end up going back down to 3rd gear to get up some hills and I find it doesn't even want to tow the trailer with no load in it in 5th gear. I had a hiace work van with the same engine and it would leave my hilux for dead. To me it seems that the turbo isn't working as it should, I can't really feel it come on boost at all compared to the hiace.
It also has a missfire you can here if u listen carefully, but it doesn't cough or splutter or blow smoke it runs quiet smoothly, just had no power.
Some guys have mentioned injectors but I had them tested and were ok. It rattles in the morning when cold on start up but sounds like most do.
So just curious if anyone has had a similar issue and no where the problem may be???
