I have a 2007 Prado diesel, 14 months ago I replaced the motor (a different problem) Over the last month the motor has lost power 3 times, the engine is still running, the engine management lights comes on but there is no response from the accelerator. I have to pull over turn off the motor and restart it, problem fixed but management lights still on. To reset them I have to turn the ignition on wait 1min then off wait 1min then start the engine. Could it be the DP chip? Has anyone had the same problem?

I can't comment on the DP Chip, but if the management light is on - there could be something else going on.
I left a very small hose off of the EGR, and had no management lights - but engine went in to limp mode. 2500 Max RPM and no power out of that RPM.[FONT=Century Gothic][B][SIZE=4][URL="http://www.pradopoint.com.au/showthread.php?36057-Ryback-s-Flinders-Red-120"][COLOR="#B22222"]'04 120 Petrol Flinders Red GXL[/URL][/COLOR][/B][/FONT][/SIZE]

If the engine light is coming on then it is likely throwing a code of some sort. First step would be to get a reader of some description in order to check for fault codes, once you know that you can investigate further.
I can read fault codes with my scangauge, there are other options as well.

Fault codes can be read without a diagnostic tool straight off the dash light by putting the ECU into diagnostic mode (simple jumper wire placed in the DLC plug). There's a write up on it somewhere on the forum including a list of basic codes.

I have run a DP Chip on my Prado since 2009. In recent times I have been getting a number of check engine light warnings. These have been recorded as "Over fuelling". One was to do with a "turbo server" issue. The first couple of check engine lights including the "turbo server" issue were prior to my replacing my injectors. I replaced my exhaust with a Beaudesert exhaust last year (prior to replacing the injectors). Since the exhaust and the replacement of my injectors, I have been getting some "check engine" light incidents (about four), all "over fuelling". I started at #6, then #5, then #4, I still got a "check engine" light. I am on a trip towing my caravan and I removed the DP Chip. I am surprised how well the car drives with just the exhaust. I am getting good fuel consumption and no check engine light. The strangest thing about the "over fuelling" issue was that it occurred when after powering with the throttle, I backed off and then put a gentle application of the throttle, the "check engine" light came on. I will be contacting Berrima when I get home.
