Yesterday when heading off to
Darwin, the Lux lost power. The
orange engine light came on. The water and oil ok and motor sounded fine. I struggled back
home and changed the fuel and air filters. Ran fine again. Went 135km into
Darwin. On way
home did it again. Stopped and restarted engine. Ok again. Started this morning and seems ok.
I had washed car day before. I washed a bit under bonnet. Done that before with no dramas. Maybe got some water into electrics??
Can you get a bit of a blockage (in new filter?) for a bit and then clear. What electrics could effect the fuel delivery.
I'll take it for a drive tonight to see if there are any more problems.

My first reaction to your post was dirty fuel. Reading on, others appear to be thinking along similar lines.
A friend had a very similar problem with his 93 Hilux surf recently (likely to be a very similar kz motor to yours) from a servo just north of
Perth (
Lancelin). He took it to Toyota to have it diagnosed as dirty fuel.
Let us know how you go and if this solves the problem, so many of these posts are left without closure
