Hi all, i've done endless searches with some useful information but not 100% my issue.
I have a 2013 GXL Prado, turbo diesel, auto, i was driving it on the weekend with no issues then got home, left it in the garage for about 2 hours went to start the car and it wont fire.
Had RAC out and they weren't that helpful.
Scenario:
Push button, orange light radio comes on.
Push button again, orange light accessories come on
Depress foot brake, light goes green
Push button and engine begins to crank just like normal
From here the engine just continues to crank but not fire.
Thoughts:
Fuel, possibly the changeover pump between the two tanks has failed therefore empties the main tank and not allowing fuel to get to the filter. Manually primed filter until primer was hard and was drawing fuel so we can eliminate that.
Electrical, when RAC came out the scan tool they use didn't pull up any fault codes. When i dropped it to toyota their scan tool can't pick up the computer. For some reason it will not talk to the computer at all. This is very odd.
There is an integration relay in a control box that apparently has power going in but no power coming out. I couldn't get any more info on this at the moment.
All fuses seem to be ok.
Question:
1. could it be an earth issue?
2. if the scan tool is not reading the computer could it be an ECU issue?
3. Could it not be electrical at all and possibly be a blocked filter even though I can manually prime fuel?
Any other thoughts brains trust?
Cheers, Chris
