Toyota 1KD-FTV low in power, Carbon Build up in Intake system

[@fewtelwoodshop]

My injectors have failed on my HiAce van and im in the middle of sorting it out. Stumbled upon this video of yours and im taken away with your very frank explanations and down to earth comments about how it actually is and whats involved to get the diesel engines up and running nicely. I love good info and no BS! love it. keep it up and make more content. youre really good :)

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

Thanks Mate. hard to do more videos as we are really bizzy.

Educational and honest. Not many proud mechanics like you. Thanks

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

All good mate. hope it helps

[@snells-window]

Wow....excellent video. Thank you very much for sharing. Came here trying to find a solution to bad diesel knock with a cold startup and under light load om my 2013 Hilux 1KD. 164.000km I’m getting some really bad rattles on cold startup under light load - from 1400 rpm through to 2000rpm, which then pretty much disappear once the engine warms. I’ve had a mechanic get the feedback values for the injectors hot and cold. These are COLD 0.6, -0.2, -0.2 and -0.2 with an injection volume of 16.63 HOT 0.8, 0, -1.1, -0.2 with an injection volume of 6.52 He said the injector values were well within spec but he could hear what he thought were injector noises. He said would be worth changing the injectors if keeping the vehicle long term. I couldn’t sell the vehicle with the cold start noises, they are most concerning, and not normal. Have had the truck for a while now and it has never been noisy like this in the distant past. Vehicle does not blow any smoke on startup or under load, and the fuel economy is same as it’s always been; between 600 - 800 km depending on city or country. Hard to find someone who knows a lot about these common rail systems so asking for any advice you can offer. Thanks

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

Those spec's on the injectors seam fine , Has he done a Compression test ? You may have a piston issue ? , You could send the injectors for testing., SCV ?

Hi Phil love how you went further in-depth to show how things work and how parts can cause lots of problems later on down the track when left for a extended period of time you really know your stuff. Keep making videos it’s very educational to and fun to watch!!!. Wish our mechanics here in New Zealand 🇳🇿 would use the decarbon system you guys use could save lots of money in the long run etc. 😁🤙

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for the informative video. I'm half way through this job on my 1kd hilux. Only the head ports still to do. After I've got it back together I'll read the values of the injectors. It's done 250k and was just as clogged up as this video

[@English_Speaking_Fox]

I’ve just done my 1KD motor at 150,000km. The difference being it has had a Provent 200 catch can fitted since new. There was soot around the EGR valve but a lot less than in this video, a lot less in the elbow and entrance to the inlet manifold. Low mileage of course, but the main difference is that the soot is dry and very friable and comes off easily, its not oil & soot mixed. Removing the oil vapour from the crankcase vent with the catch can makes a huge difference to the deposits.

[@tomskimcdouglegaming806]

You'll have no buildup if you eff the EGR off.

[@SavedbyHim]

Deleting the egr is not as simple as it seems. The egr is only active at part throttle and if you delete or blank it off your fuelling will be incorrect. At full throttle the egr valve is closed meaning that you get no performance gains by deleting it as some believe.​@@tomskimcdouglegaming806

[@MC-jf6ic]

Not convincing, you should've cleaned it around the same mileage. Way its driven makes a difference as well. My point is, catch can are useless. As long as you have the egr, you'll have soot build up.

[@fkn16v]

About to get this done on my 120, cant wait. The old girl about to get a real good birthday clean.

[@bigfella6629]

The amount of carbon build up in that inlet manifold...WOW!

[@eosullivan5500]

It's not a Toyota problem it's an egr problem. Every diesel fitted with an egr valve does this. Had 2 vw tourages both 2.5tdi with 365kms and both blocked as bad as this.

Hi mate, great video. By any chance could you help me out? I have a 2015 2kd 2.5 hilux, i just reconditioned the injectors and turbo. I also have a 76mm downpipe and exhuast as well as an egr delete. It feels much better power wise but in every gear when i try going over 2500-3000rpm it starts to stutter and doesnt push on. As i go into the next gear the same problem continues at 2000-3000rpm. Im really struggling to find the fault. Do you think it could be the map sensor or that the injectors werent done properly ?

Very detailed Video. Would you recommend getting a decarb with my 2016 hilux with just 111000km? Im not sure if its just normal but I feel theres not much power on it specially going on a hill and i just want it to last a very long time. I did put a catch can on it to prevent all the soots forming but as it has a few km on it so its going to have some buildup on it already.thanks

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

we recommend to have it done at around 80,000ks , you need to checked your injectors as well and possibly some of the general serving stuff as well ,sometimes things are not done

[@markbergman2342]

I feel my 2KD-FVT 2015 hilux (188k km's) is SLOW. Being at ~2600 kg, on flat ground a sprint from 0 to 100, pushing it, will take well over 22 seconds. I have a ODBII dongle installed and use an iOS app "car scanner" to be able to read some values while driving. my question: what is the highest MAP pressure in kPA i should measure on a stock 2KD-FVT ? I'm getting 221 kPA at max (which corresponds to 1.21 Calculated boost)

[@flatoot]

That boost pressure sounds good for a standard hilux. Take a look inside your inlet manifold for carbon build up, you might be surprised how bad it is. My hilux was just as bad as this video. I haven't put the car back together yet so can't comment on the improvement.

[@robertraman6307]

After such a de-carbon of the EGR and the intake - if you did a EGR blank the engine light would come up but if you reduce it to 7 mm hold, how long would it take for the engine to build up that kind of carbon?

Hi Phil, I have been facing an issue on my Toyota Corolla 2.0 D4D over 2 years. When I put my foot fully down on the accelerator, the the car just doesn't want to go anywhere followed by black smoke but as soon as it goes over 3k rpms, it runs normal considering I keep it above 3k rpm. I disconnected the MAF sensor and the car works with no issues and have been driving it like this for around 2 years. Although the MAF is disconnected, from time to time the power loss has started again on occasional days. (considering the car isn't driven much / small trips due to lockdown) Can you please advise whether it is the EGR which could possibly be causing this e.g. is the EGR and MAF linked? When this issue first occurred 2 years ago, I got a mechanic to clean the EGR as well as performed a carbon clean which made no difference. Any help would be grateful
