Hey everyone, i have a bit of a problem with my motor. I have a 1988 Hilux with a 4Y 2.2L petrol motor and i have a feeling its on its last legs, was just wondering if anyone could give me any tips or suggestions on what to do. I am trying to decide whether to overhaul the engine completely or just replace the whole thing. Any help on prices or motors would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Todd

Todd - I had one of those motors in a Hilux ute
Best thing is to get another car :-)
The motors are very underpowered, and they are not good on fuel.
You did not say if you had & to spend, but I strongly recommend you upgrade.
Cheers Tony

Under powered...Yes
Fuel efficent....not really
Realiable......VERY..!!!!
A very basic engine that is cheap to overhaul and will give thousands of hours of trouble free motoring. They are the equivalent of a Holden Red motor. Not overly techinical, but easy and cheap to fix.
FYI....most Toyota Forklifts run 4Y engines.
