Troopy power...not

When was the last time the fuel filters were changed, sounds like it is starving, not good as the injector pump requires a good steady flow of fuel to both lubricate and cool it.
Air cleaner last changed?

Same answer as TroopyOz, change the fuel filters since Toyota have been too lazy to do them.
Then see how it goes,

You're on the road to answering your own question,

More likely to be spark plugs and/or plug leads than fuel

I have an idea...

You should have bought mine...

Just Kidding...

But it is at $39990 now, with everything!!!

Hi Ozdyssey
Sounds like fuel stavation to me , but by sucking air. Injectors would have to be totally stufed to play up like that.

Hi Ozdyssey,

Just an idea but worth looking at your fuel tank to see if there is any quantity of water present. In our climate it is not unusual to find that condensation has built up to the point where the pump is pulling minute quantities of water into the injectors. Do you have a water trap in the line?
The other thing which happens when there is water in the tank is a build up of clad (like a fungal growth) which can form a light slimmy coating on your filters. Again one of the symtoms is 'missing' under power.
Went to your profile to see if I could answer this 'off forum' and noticed the pic of the ZR. From what I can see this is a dead ringer for ours which was the first of the ZRs and I thought the only one built with the bent stone guard. I have been thrilled with ours. Does a great job.

Hi Ozdyssey,

I picked up a load of fuel with high water content at Dalby in December - the Queensland Fuel Group roadhouse.

They promised to look into it - never came back to me at all.

I have no doubt about where it came from - I was bone dry at Dalby and had never had a fuel issue previously. Fuel filter was a few weeks and 3000km old.

Ended up draining the fuel filter on the road in from Toowomba and a few times after that - probably 1 litre or so in 108 litres.

They did claim that their fuel was from Caltex anyways as most of the diesel in Queensland ... sobbed that if they had water in their tanks all the truckies who fill up there all day (apparently biggest fuel stop this side of the black stump).

Don't trust the fuel supply - look at your fuel filter - or have it done, and check out the water and/or sediment in it.

Ciao for now
Andrew.

Thks all

I think I'll try check all those points and find a trusted independant Toyo mechanic in Brisbane or is that an oxymoron.
