Hi,
Our Prado (KDJ120R) did a couple of strange things yesterday during a short trip (1.5 hour, 80km drive). Part of this was in wet conditions...
1. travelling about 10km/h on corrugated dirt road, I put my foot on the accelerator and it didn't respond (revs stayed low) for about 5-10 seconds. It eventually picked up.
2. idling (after the drive home), with my foot on the brake, in gear, the engine stopped.
Also, the stereo turned itself on at one point. Could have been a bump that made the connection... or I suppose it could be water damage...
We recently had it transported from Victoria to our new home in the NT via train then barge. It was serviced earlier this year.
Any ideas what the problem could be? We're a few hundred kms from a mechanic so it'd be good to have some idea of what we're dealing with...
Cheers
