Hilux 4x4 Forum

PROBLEM SOLVED. Took it back to the diesel shop and it finally showed a code. A negative number on injector # 3 indicated a short in either the coil or cable. I unplugged the connectors to the injectors and computer and cleaned them with contact cleaner. Of course, the contact cleaner swelled up the...

Yea, it's strange. The fuel tank was dropped and cleaned, new fuel filter, no warning lights or codes. Thanks for the input though.

Hi, I have a 2008 Hilux 3.0 D4D automatic with about 140,000 km on it. When driving at low RPM's, like below 2000, the motor will sometimes just die. No power loss or stumbling just cutting off. Does not seem to be electrical since the power is not interrupted with the radio, lights or dash. I've ha...

Thanks Thabo! More great info to consider. Compared to you guys in S.A.my Hilux has it easy. 100 to 120 Kph max and longest trip ever (couple times a year) would be 3-5 hours.

Thanks Mars for that very informative post, it is appreciated! Since I cannot get a chip dyno tuned (Unichip) to my vehicle, maybe a plug and play with an EGT gauge is the next best option?

Standard forum etiquette is to do your searches and homework first and then to pose questions. There are lots of very knowledgeable guys on the forum. No-one likes to be taken advantage of though. Thanks Mars. I did and there is not a lot of info here. A few guys use it, one guy says it's junk and ...

Thanks for the welcome. I'm waiting for 'that guy' to advise. Every forum has one or two members that knows all. I'm new here but you guys know who he is. Send him my way please.

I have a 2008 3.0 D4D and looking for a little more power. I've read good things about Unichip but they are not available in my country, Costa Rica. Anyone have any insight on RaceChip? Pros, cons?
