Gen 2 3L Auto Intermittent Knocking Noise & Smoking
Hi
Apologies as I am new to this Forum and to Hilux Surfs but I have recently purchased a 1994 Gen 2 3L Auto with KNZ130 Engine with around 120K miles on the clock (shows in kph). It starts and runs but has an intermitted knock which co-incides with dark/pale smoke from exhaust when it happens. The power fades dramitically and it is a strggle to get 30mph with foot flat down. It has been suggested it might be an injector failing but I do not know? I am running a very heavy dose of Millers Deisel Fuel Treatment & cleaner through it to see if that might clear any gunge as it has been sitting for a long time before purchase although I drove it from Southampton to Edinburgh after purchase. Grateful for any ideas or direction on what to do next?
Many thanx in advance. Iain
