I a loosing power and the vehicle is surging after approx 60 kms of travel. I have had the the vacuum valve replaced but the problem persists. After a restart I can get around 60ks and the car surges again with the engine light eventually coming on and shutting down the motor . Any have any clues?
Regard

Hi Cobba
This happened to me only about 6 weeks ago. Was told it were 4 fuel injectors.
Engine made a knocking sound and I could only drive about 30 km.
Was towed to the Toyota dealer in
Broome to find out is was a fuse.
Good luck.

To me, it sounds as if the vent sysem in your fuel tank may be blocked. When it stops again, open the fuel cap and see if a surge of air rushed in. If it does, that may be the problem. Also,
check the temperature gauge etc to see if something is overheating (I don't think this is the cause).
