Hi all, new to the world of Prado,s & Pradopoint. Did have this posted somewhere else but no response so trying here.
90 series petrol prado 2000 model
Hi all, looking for some info please on my 2000 model prado 3.4v6 petrol.
At idle the exhaust smells to me to be very rich?, a bit like after mowining your lawn with a 2 stroke mower? your cloths smell fuelly.
A blip on the throttle & she puffs back smoke.
no check eng light on
idle seems ok
plugs/air filter all new (plugs removed and were very black???)
no inlet manifold or vacuum leaks detected
exhaust seems ok(standard) no leaks
I read a few articles re the maf sensor/cleaned it-no change
now replaced it with a new 1(genuine purchased off ebay) but the car wouldn,t pull at all so had to put old 1 back(old maf seems to drive car fine?)
Is the fault only at idle??
I suppose i need to have a probe stuck up its bhind to really know?
Would be happy to have a good tech check it out but where???-live in the hills district sydney
Any comments appreciated .
Regards,
Bruce
