Compliments of the new season all,
i have went through a very frustrating festive season as my truck has been standing still for a full month now.
i took it in because it couldn't start, that was sorted quickly as there was a problem with a starter wires due to bloody RATS
once that was sorted, engine light came ON , when diagnosis was done, the Throttle sensor error code came on, after battling with it, was decided to put new Throttle sensor, even after that, the bakkie still starts but NO Throttle
please advice what else could be looked at to remedy the problem coz now my last option would be to take it to the stealers and remain broke the whole year and even miss paying my club membership
regards
Tau

Oh almost forgot, if the alternator doesn't charge there's no throttle as well...

Eish! I don't like 'fly-by-wire' throttles!
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: V6 Throttle problem
its finally back home after long weeks of battling with it, i decided to get a tow truck to take it to Alberton Auto Elctricians, where it was discovered due to rats that chewed the wiring which ultimately, blew the computer box hence my problem..computer box repaired, and im finally flying again....those taxi drivers driving uo & down Beyers Naude....
