Hi,
I have a Prado 1KZ-TE with 200k km on the clock. It started knocking recently so we thought to see if the injectors were needing replacement. They have been refurbished and redone.
So when the vehicle starts its quiet and runs fine, after a few minutes it then starts knocking. So then we checked the glow plug relay and this is working fine. Then we checked the voltage at the glowplug bridge.
So when the vehicles starts there is +12v at the glow plugs and then it runs good. After a few minutes the +12v falls away and then the knocking begins. So the glow plug relay is working fine, where do I look for the timer that runs the relay ?
Could the coolant thermostat not be working correctly ? Although the temperature does increase on the dash.
What controls the glow plug relay ?
Any help would be appreciated.
