After all that 3000D / 3.0DE / 2.7i back and fro, the wife and my dad both told me I should go cheaper on the bakkie and keep the car for the wife.
So for sake of family ties, and finanses, I bought the 1990 2.2 DC with the new factory engine - that engine was about the only selling point for me, buying the thing blind from JHB. Spoke to my uncle at Toyota and he says the engine alone is worth R30K - could this be. I paid R40K for the bakkie
OK, so now that I'm officially an hilux owner, my first official tech question....
She purrs like a kitten when idling, just when I cruise up the driveway, and she sits at about 1500rpm, then the revs starts to hunt from 1000 to about 3000rpm and she either jumps forward or almost stalls.
Even when driving at about 60, then the rev counter jumps all over the place, but the engine remains constant however. I thought maybe in this case, its just the fact that the entire freaking bakkie is hoping as if the axils was bolted onto the chassis directly. I forgot how bumpy those SFA are.
Could this be the carb that needs to be reset of coast conditions?
How would one do this?
