Hi All,
I am new here and am looking for advice as I am at a loss and need some help. I have a Toyota Hiace 2008 with 1KD- FTV engine that is causing me problems. I am a courier and the engine started developing problems a while back when it failed to idle and sometimes lost power and engine light came on, the fix was to replace the EGR valve which was totally clogged. Since the replacement it was working fine but some time later it began to lose power again. I use a mechanic that I work next door to and they had another look for me and discovered that the EGR cooler was blocked. On cleaning the EGR cooler it ran well for some months then began to lose power again. The EGR cooler was then taken off again and cleaned and resolved the problem, since then every three weeks or so it loses power again, take off the cooler and clean it and it resolves the problem. I finally bit the bullet as I assumed the EGR Cooler was blocked inside an unable to be cleaned properly so I bought a new one at $ 950. This again fixed the problem but three weeks down the track it has lost power again. The light on the dash although initially off when the EGR valve was replaced is now constantly flashing. I believe the error code is saying something about CO2 gasses. The van has done approx. 180 000 Km s and the injectors were replaced 25000 Km ago under the Toyota recall. My mechanics seem to be at a loss and I have no idea and I cant afford to have it off the road as it is impossible to hire a van where I live and am scared about taking it to Toyota . My mechanics next step is to pull of the intake system to see if its carboned up . Any thoughts or solutions to this problem greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Regards Greg .
