Hi,
Have got a 2007 GXL D4D with 160K's (Love the vehicle). Had it from new and serviced at Toyota. On start up (after sitting for a few hours or o/night) I get a cloud of white/grey smoke that turns the surrounding area into a smog zone such that it looks like a bad day in Beijing. Once engine has warmed up, doesnt seem to emit the smoke. Have noticed no change in performance or rough running (havent checked fuel consumption).
I have had the vehicle in at toyota 4 times issue still not fixed.
Response from toyota was that the feedback values on the injectors were slightly high and I will need to change the injectors cost $4k. Other possibility was some sort of blockage/carbon build up on intake that was preventing full combustion at start up. They said they were not really sure.
Can anyone add some light to this issue. I really don't have full confidnece in toyota and do not want to just keep paying to have components "fixed" until a solution is accidently stumbled upon.
Regards
Greg
