hilux not starting

Post by Sebata »

hi all,

My Truck has developed a bad habit lately, at times after accelerating hard or drive hard!, should i switch it off, it wont start and should let it rest for +/- 15 min then it'll start again :frustrated:

could you please advice what be the reason?, all of this nonsense began after it blew a radiator.

It could also be the injectors, I learnt recently about a land cruiser with V6 that has the same problem and they had to have the injectors replaced.

Hi Tau your battery size should be 668 or 664 but read that threat again and see what Pieter said.
