Hi guys,
Yesterday I experienced a strange issue with my prado, 2.7.
I was towing a boat on to the on ramp of a freeway, I needed to get to speed quick, so the put foot down, revved the engine fairly high. All of a sudden it just seems to cut out, began slowing down. A put my foot on the clutch to see if the car was on, it was and still idled, as soon as I tried to accelerate, nothing, like it was getting no fuel. Lucky I also have an Lpg tank, so switch it lpg and thankfully off she goes. First time I've been happy to lpg in may car (I normally run it on petrol).
I pull over at a petrol station, sure enough starts and idles on petrol, but won't rev past 800-1000rpm. Runs fine on lpg. So fill up on lpg so I get to where I'm going. For interest I try switching to petrol about 30 minutes later, and it's working again!
any ideas,I was thinking pump had died, but I wouldn't have thought it would start?
Thanks
Evan
