My Prado is fitted with the problematic 1KD -FTV engine. Now the engine would start with one kick. It would idle nicely for a while and then it would idle rough with black smoke. It would then lose all throttle response. I had the engine scanned and found no fault code. But if I disconnected the turbo motor, it would rev up and run normally. with less power. My mechanics were stumped. What could cause this no throttle response problem? It is a dead buffalo now.

I removed the turbo and had it checked by the turbo shop. It was reported good. I reinstalled it and no throttle response problem remained. Please note that the engine ran normally if the turbo vent control motor was disconnected, though with lack of power (no black smoke). Could the throttle body be faulty?
