What the spark plug gap for Hilux 2001 2.7L Petrol engine please?

I have a 2001 2.7l 4x4 double cab. Central locking is giving problem. Driver side does not respond. The windows winders also does not work. Anybody have any ideas? Where can I get a wiring diagram?

Hello there,
Found the bolt lying on the engine protection plate. Secured the pulley end and all is hunky dory!
PS. The other part of the pulley was still on.

My aircon started working less an less and I thought it would be the gas. I took a trip down the road and heard some noise under the hood. After inspection found a 'cover' off with bolt missing on one of the pully's. I will attempt to upload photos. The question is this just a ordinary bolt I can us...

Thanks for you assistance:-)

Hello guys,
Who can assist? My wipers stopped working. I already checked the fuse. I see there is a circuit breaker on the diagram. Does anyone know where the circuit breaker is? I would like to check it.

Jy kan trots wees. Baie goeie werk!!!!!

Has anybody also used the Great Wall Fuel Injection Inlet Manifold with their EFI upgrade. Does the standard GWM ICV work with the Dictator? Would appreciate feedback.

Hello Louis,
I see you also have a Great Wall Fuel Injection Inlet Manifold installed with your EFI upgrade. Does the standard GWM ICV work with the Dictator? Would appreciate feedback.

Thanks/Dankie Louis, Seems like the idling is set fast manually to try and compensate for the cold start. But it only creates other problems when the engine is warm. I will however check the air screw on the throttle body. Will get a filter ASAP. Looks like the mapping can be improved to allow bette...

Hello gents, I have recently had my Toyota SFA 'CJ7 jeep' Hilux 4Y upgraded to EFI and the Brospeed upgrade done all at once. Dictator std ECU was used. The vehicle goes well but however will not idle when cold. After doing some research on the forum and checking the installation the following was f...

I went to the stealers and they wanted R400+ for a teeny little relay. I told them I will come back to them. I went to the scrapyard on Saturday. (Barnetts Brackenfell) They have plenty holders/containers full of relays. They allowed me to go and dig for relays with the correct footprint. Although t...

Details of actual fault found When checking and testing (with multimeter) the fuel system circuit the following was found: 1. The circuit opening relay was removed. 2. The wires feeding the contact were shorted out. (This was to power up the fuel pump without the relay) The way that the previous own...

Hoeray! I got the bakkie going. I suspected the circuit that fires up the ECU or the ECU. The EFI relay coil is the first to be activated via the ignition switch. The contacts of the EFI relay then activates the Open circuit relay via and earth from the ECU. The fuel pump is fires up via contacts of...

Checked all fuses. All OK. Connected battery directly to fuel pump and pump started pumping fuel. This is now looking like it could be the ECU. Has anybody had experience with their ECU?

Tested voltage at Fuel pump. Found it to be 12V. This is a new fuel pump. I have found that no fuel is coming through the fuel filter though. Could the fuel pump be blocked? Could the fuel filter be blocked?

Please assist.

In the early nineties a bought an rusted 1980 Hilus 4x4 fishing bakkie for R6000. I then rebuilt it from the ground up, cut the chassis shorter and moved the mountings to fit a CJ7 jeep kit. This old Hilux then gave me years of pleasure and fun. It has been neglected the last couple of years and bee...
