I reckon he was already on the way...identify possible causes and seek to eliminate until solution established. Of course there is always a mechanic to consult if it all gets too hard. Cheers

I had a problem with my first Hilux, an '84 2.2 diesel. When I put my foot down it would surge or stall. Rang dealers, mechanics and Toyota. Finally got an answer, which was correct, from a diesel mechanic in Melbourne. The metal tube from the top of the fuel tank which extended to the bottom of the tank and had a simple filter on the bottom had developed a crack at the top and movement caused it to flex and open or close the crack, so sometimes sucking air.

No, no, no, you've got it wrong. The hiclone is in backwards and instead of sucking harder when you put you foot down, it blows back up and stalls the engine.
