Wondering if anyone has experienced this before:
I have a 2002 Turbo Diesel Toyota Prado.
Recently I have noticed that on occasion my engine light has been coming on while going downhill. When the mechanic hooked up the little machine it said it was something along the lines of a 'Timing system control fault'. I've recently had the engine head replaced as it was cracked, and since this, the main tank fuel gauge is reading about 1/4 tank higher then actual level. I've just returned from a driving trip to Canberra over the weekend and noticed that the engine light came on a few times while going down into a valley (doing 100/110kmh) and failed to go out straight away, and I had no acceleration at all until the car slowed to about 40km/h and the light went off and I could accelerate again. Seems to go out when the RPM is below 1000. When the car is cold and I turn it on without starting the engine, the main fuel gauge reads correctly most of the time, and then slowly creeps up after the engine has started. I don't know if it's all linked or not, and I've asked 3 diff mechanics to look at it, without any success. (P.s sub tank gauge reads correctly all the time)
