  1. Hi guys. I recently visited the forum in search of answers for my 3RZ that performs badly. In africa we call our pickups with the 3RZ engine a Hilux but overseas ofcourse you guys know it as the Tacoma I believe. I've read a couple of diagnoses on poor performance etc on the 3RZ but could not realy pinpoint my problem. I did however replace the ECT(engine coolant temperature) sensor and right away the engine fired up and was ticking like a Rolex. Before I had to start the vehicle 10-15 times before it would idle and then it stil would misfire like it was running on 2 cylinders or as if the valves was leaking or bad plugs,plug wires etc. Couldn't believe that the ECT made such a big differance. Hope this can be of help for someone with any coldstart,misfiring symptoms,poor acceleration,bad feul economy,powerloss problems on the 3RZ. I Have to mention that the Hilux performed better when it was eventually up to operating temperature but still not as good as it should be. With the sensor replaced the Hilux is now powerfull and a pleasure to drive. Regards. Feel free to send me a mail if any of you have questions as I dont look at my notifications that regularly. jpcmeyer@gmail.com
