  • Spare relays

    Food for thought for other petrol powered Prado owners....
    Good advice, and not just for petrol owners. It's the same for diesel owners, the D4D is basically the same as petrol EFI and even the good old 1kz can be thought of as single point injection... all have a ECU controlling the engine with several crucial relays.

    A tip here is you can basically get relays/fuses and fuse links from auto wreckers for free if you're ever in there buying something else. Also, there a fairly universal part across many makes and models.

    Another tip for those less mechanically minded is to do a basic automotive maintenance coures at somewhere like TAFE. With a little knowledge relays and fuses can be substituted from other systems to get you going, for example you can do without the heater fan or headlights if you need to get the EFI/Engine up and running.

    Re: Spare relays

    How much would it suck, if my ECM, Fuel pump or STA (start curcuit) Relays shit themselves in the middle of the bush
    Now it's funny you should say that. Same goes for fuses.
    I did something really stupid last weekend which resulted in a blown fuse. Went to my spare fuse kit and discovered I did not have the miniature type.
    As we all know there are a couple of spares fitted in the fuse box as standard and this got me going but yesterday I bought every rating miniature fuse I could find.
    Admittedly, unlike a relay you could 'Jerry Rig' something to replace a fuse if you were desperate but I would rather have the correct part in the first place.
    Will get some some relays now, you never know.
