  • Engine malfunction light on

    For the past few months my engine light has been on and off. It only comes on when accelerating from a cold start.
    When the light comes on the engine dies to an idle and I have to pull over and restart the engine. As you can imagine,
    this could be dangerous if I am accelerating into traffic
    I took the car back to Toyota and their analysis is a fuel injector is staying open and this is caused by "dirty fuel"
    Since the visit to Toyota, I have gone out of my way and gotten fuel from 4 different servo's in 4 different towns but still
    the problem persists.
    Has anyone had a similar experience and what was done to fix the issue?
    My car was bought secondhand in late June 2010. It's a 2007 GXL D4D, 6 speed manual.
    I wondering if when the statutory warranty runs out, the dealership will pickup that there is an injector problem and charge me for the fix

    If this is the case you need to get it fixed, leaking injectors can cause serious issues :!:

    When you report an issue within your warranty period which they can't/won't fix in the first instance they still have to fix if your warranty runs out in the mean time (make sure its logged into their system and you have something in writing/mentioned on your service sheet evey time you report a fault)

    Your issue is they are claiming dirty fuel.... could be true.... could be them trying to dodge a warranty claim.

    Did they/you take a fuel sample at the time?

    If your a member of your states motoring association (RAA, NRMA etc etc) then speak to their technical and legal advice depts (free for members)

      I had the same problem the other day with my D4d 2008 model 6 speed. When accelerating when cold the engine light came on and the car derated. I had to restart to gain normal power though the engine light remained on for some time. Toyota dealer looked at it and said the computer indicated it was an injector problem. They need to inspect when cold so I have booked in for next week. I have noticed a subtle dead spot when accelaring at low revs which sounds like fuel problem? Are Toyota likely to replace the injectors?

        Department of Fair Trading are helpful too. They have motor vehicle specialists and can assist when negotiating a warranty dispute (going through this at the moment for serious compression issues in my diesel)
