I'll try and be on now and then. I've been busy with my business, new family addition and also nearly sold the Prado as I needed a work vehicle and the Prado had been in storage for nearly 6 months. In the end we've kept the Prado as I couldn't bare to part with it. Now have a Hilux 150 D4D to cover the work duties. The Prado will see it's first off road trip this year shortly with a trip to the Flinders/Arkaroola. Glad to be back into it.... I've worked every weekend since mid December!!

Good to see you back Mick! Hope the new addition is doing well.
Prado and a 150 lux, now I am jealous
Cheers Andrew

Don't be. The Lux is a 2wd single cab with service body, the ride is bloody awful. My good old 1kz 120 runs rings around it in terms of driveability and out right engine performance. I'm not all that impressed with the standard d4d's performace, I've already removed all the egr and also the throttle body plate too and I've only had it a month! Can't help but modify things!
Thanks for this, saves me having to drive all the way to the Toyota Service Centre whenever it comes up. Just FYI, it doesnt matter whether you bridge out the two pins before or after ignition as I just tried it. Have now found that my EGR position sensor is faulty, hopefully its just a loose plug.
Had a P0400 code come up on the new motor, Googled it and once again Pradopoint to the rescue.

Yep.....I have a Prado just like you Bugger Bali, get out and see Australia before we sell it all to China My Rig BuildTowing Camprite TL8s (if ya wanna look PM me)
Haven't fixed it as yet. Went to Toyota, told them the code and what it was, then sat in the waiting room for an hour for them to charge me $70 to tell me what I told them. WTF! They need the car for more time but there is a check list of what to look for for that code. Need to find that. What the mechanic did say was proberbly a hose has either fallen off, got a small hole in it or when motor was done put in the wrong place.

Just an update to my P0400 ((71) - EGR position sensor (valve out of position)) problem I had. Wife dropped the car into Toyota and they found 2 vacuum hoses had fallen off. They put them back on and all good, although the new motor seems to be running a bit "rich"?
Also have had a code P1264 come up but no info on this in the above list. Anybody have any idea?

I had the P0400 -P0404, EGR Sensor over voltage, out of position. Had to replace - Toyota part #8945535020 (Expensive from Toyota - I got mine from Amayama for $48)
Your P1264 code, I googled for you and followed my nose to here, even though it is a HiAce, but has the similar 1KD-FTV plant, I believe the fault code is the same.

100% correct, so here's what dumb ass did to get the code. I had the kick panels off in the front passenger seat to re run a couple of cables and didn't finish. Turned the car on to wind up windows last night but had left this unplugged
Have reset the ECU and no further problems.
Thanks cfryback at least there was a valid reason as to why the code came up.

D'oh! At least it was a simple fix.
Though I did miss the "check engine" light that had been on for three weeks....My luck the fault is still there, bulb is out!

I have a 2012 VX D4D Prado, with a chipit chip, 45,000kms on it, starting getting error codes - P0087 (49) - Fuel rail pressure sensor or rail pressure too low. and P0191 (49) - Fuel rail pressure sensor circuit performance/range.
Initially, I thought maybe the chip had been wound up too much - was on setting 8 of 15, so I reverted it back to setting 4 which is standard - the problem still occured, you could drive for maybe 50 seconds before the scan gauage showed this error, then the car would go into limp mode. I could clear the codes and then drive for another few minutes.
The next day, I subsequently replaced both fuel filters thinking that it may be due to lack of fuel pressure, if then drove fine.
I had 1/4 of a tank of fuel left, so filled up at my usual servo.
Drove it around 150kms with no issues, and it has started coming up with these errors again.
I generally use the same Service station for fuel, but in the last tank I did go to a different Caltex servo.
Have any of you had this problem before?
Im wondering if I got some bad fuel?
Any help is appreacited.
