Q. Why is my HiLux sluggish?
The design fault stems from dust particles possibly leaking past the air filter to affect the mass air flow sensor, which is in charge of the engine’s fuel-to-air ratio. Once affected, the engine will change into limp mode, which turns off both stability and traction control as the onboard readings are affected.
Q. Are there any problems with the Toyota Hilux?
With the the Hilux vehicles, it usually happens that some wires that lead to the injectors peel, causing that failure. I recommend you to check properly the wiring. Good luck. Every time I use the pick up loaded, after driving for two hours, ascending and descending slopes, a light indicating a malfunction turns on and the car loses power.
Q. What to do if your Hilux has a catch?
The HiLux is certainly prone to this, and the fix is usually an expensive tear down and clean of the intake system. Fit a catch can, or as they should be known, an oil separator as soon as possible.
Q. What are the problems with the D4D Hilux?
Poorly performing injectors have been known to knock loudly, present a poor idle and poor fuel economy. They are also responsible for cracking pistons, which is another major issue with this motor (it’s how mine died at 270,000km).
