Hi there
I am new to this site and forum
Appears that there is a great deal of technical knowledge in this forum
In short: Living in the US, I bough on impulse a 91 Prado 2L TE (engine) RHD 6 months ago. Give the the performance of my FJ40 of the past 5 years I was comfortable taking on this project. I was wrong!
I have experienced ongoing smoke issues upon startup (cold start style). Its basically a white cloud that can last up to 5 minutes with an extraordinary quantity of smoke pouring out of the tailpipe. After 3 mins of driving it is completely clear. I have changed glows, filters, new fuel lines, checked timing, eliminated air in all lines, rebuilt the fuel pump, check wiring harness, bypassed EGR and much more. Zero improvement. At present I am getting an error code DTC 4 (engine coolant tem sensor). I need to trouble shoot but have no manual to diagnose.
Can anyone help with sourcing diagnostic code manuals and generally does anyone have an idea of where I should be headed generally with the smoke issue. Attached below is a youtube link that paints the picture
thanks much
