Hi all,
My 1998 100 series 1 HD-FTE auto diesel Land cruiser has a problem that even the 'experts' haven't seen. Perhaps someone out there has:
Generally and randomly, when cold starting, the engine fires instantly, but rather than idling at its normal 800 rpm, it idles at 500 rpm. When you press the throttle nothing happens- no rev rise. Nothing. If you shift into any gear nothing happens, no movement to suggest it has engaged at all. After repetitive pressing of the throttle (while testing out all the newly invented curses you have conjured up) and after about 30-60 seconds, the throttle starts to respond, minutely at first but improving press by press until it is responding normally. When you shift into a gear now it responds normally too, and away you go. All subsequent warm starts are normal.
I have checked it on computer testing and the ECU shows no faults.
Any thoughts ?
Regards
Ibrahim
