Have installed a replacement set of BDG injectors this week. Cold run and no knock. Completely quiet.

I suspect my KDJ120R has the "death rattle" as it possesses all the classic symptoms...however it also will struggle to start when facing down hill and when it does it blows massive amounts of smoke for the first few minutes. On a couple of occasions its not started until the 3rd or 4th try.
Is this the injector/valve problem or is there something more sinister going on?
Cheers

It's very sinister.Originally posted by Obetrice View Post
Sounds like you have shagged injectors.
More importantly the copper seats leaking & your engine may seize up.

Time to get somebody reliable to have a good look before it goes BANG and costs you $12 - 20K to fix. Do not hesitate as it hasn't got long to live going by what you are saying and my own personal experience.Originally posted by Obetrice View PostDave

Does anyone have a copy of the Baileys' guide for fitting 1KD-FTV injectors they might be able to email me? Have read this before and looked ideal to be refering to alongside the workshop manual. Went to get a copy of it yesterday and it doesn't seem to be downloadable from their site anymore.
ThanksComment

Thanks all for the info and thanks #### for your detailed post about this problem.
I have just called my local Toyota and they tell me that the injector check is under a recall so it's free to have them checked
I do have to pay for the injectors etc. it they are damaged but only 30 minutes labour cost for the entire job. As part of the recall they also check the oil pickup.
I asked if they replace the copper seats with a different part however the booking person didn't know. I assume that Toyota wouldn't be so silly to replace the faulty part with the same part but I thought I'd ask.Comment

Blowing smoke on startup with the nose down is classic of the blown injector seal according to Baileys. I would get the seals changed immediately and get them to check your oil intake sieve at the same time.My car has done 114,000 miles and makes a real racket when left over night to completely cool. So recently had my injectors supposedly serviced but I have a suspicion they have only had new tips and been recalibrated. I think the rest of the mechanics inside may have remained untouched. Anyway attached are my warm and cold techstream captures. Whats the thoughts ? Once shes warmed up shes absolutely fine.
Otherwise your engine may get starved of oil - which is not good!Last edited by Corigator; 19-11-2015, 06:52 PM.Greg - 08 D4D Prado,

You don't have to buy injectors off Toyota, you can buy them much cheaper. New fuel pies also.
Yes they use the revised seats for the last 7+ years, they are good for at least 120k, when installed correctly.Comment

Finally got the prado into Toyota today for the injector check up and it seems they were quite a way out. Apparently 5mm3/st was all their system could measure. #1 = 5.0 mm3/st, #2 = -2.2, #3 = -2.4 mm, #4 = -1.0Comment
