Hi guys, small update.
I’ve spent some hours looking at the wiring below the steering column and can’t find any wires or relays which look damaged. There are the odd wires which have been spliced together and taped over to fit new connectors etc, however upon starting the vehicle and wiggling these specific bits, nothing happened.
For some context I had the car running for probably an hour on and off while I was doing these checks. Unfortunately I couldn’t find anything that would make the engine cut out, despite wiggling individual wires and entire looms.
I checked the electronic ignition switch/ barrel which cycles the car between off, radio on and engine running and it seems to have a distinct click between each setting. I’ve attached a pic of this part. Does anyone know where new ones can be sourced?
The car was static while running (not being driven and rocking about) so it makes me think something must be lose or susceptible to movement making it cut out. Each time the car has cut out it’s during transit.
I’ve got a couple of extra questions:
On the attached pic of a 2.4 fuel pump, is the thick wire
in relation to fuel cut off? Could it be that either this wire is worn - or something in the pump which gets triggered when moving?
Is it sounding more like the ECU could be the issue? I was unable to find it however looking at a Prado diagram it looks like this is inside the dash on the passengers side (hassle to get to!). Has anyone on here with a granvia accesses the ECU before?
Thanks as always chaps
