Guys
I'm somewhat out of my depth and looking for help (very little diesel experience)! I think I may have problems with my fuel pump??? There are a few symptoms that may or may not be related, so here we go:
I posted recently on a bit of judder when pulling up (felt like a manual pulling up without the clutch depressed), this happened 3 times only. Based on Jon Wildsmith's advice I had intended to strip the gearbox out this week and replace the torque converter. On Saturday I got lent on to take some Australian friends back to Heathrow (about 100 miles each way). On the way back, in the outside lane of the motorway the car simply died with all the dashboard lights coming on. I pulled on to the hard shoulder, the truck restarted no problems but died again before I even left the hard shoulder. Next start went about 5 miles before the same happened and then a further few times. Eventually I managed to nurse the car home. I changed the fuel filter the next day but this made no difference.
I've tried pulling off the flow and return pipes, and fuel does flow but not at the pressure that I expected, additionally although the tank is 3/4 full when I took off the fuel cap you could hear the air rush in. Two other pieces of info that could be relevant are that I have used very low concentrations of Biodiesel (about 20% good quality 27/3 tested) and the car has covered just over 80K miles.
I contacted Diesel Bob who has quoted me £1500 and slammed Landcruisers, which is a pity because my last truck gave me 4 years of fairly trouble free driving. Does anyone have any advice? Could I strip out the pump and rebuild myself without specialist tools? Are there other parts that I should consider? I've spent out a lot recently on this truck and I'm not sure I can afford £1500
Regards

Just taken the pump cover off to check plug connections and noticed that the Timing Control Valve is soaked with diesel, then after plugging everything back I the car wouldn't start. I taken of the pipe between the filter and pump and fuel isn't flowing. Could be that I have a loose connection on one of the plugs, made worse by being pulled around? Any ideas?
Thanks

Think I remember someone on here mentioning the possibility of leaking fuel filters. Check around the bottom of the filter for leak. _________________ '97 JDM 3.0TD Prado --> 2005 120 3.0TD --> 2000 HDJ100R VX |

Checked for leaks, can't find anything. I've primed the pump again (using the push button thing above the fuel filter), so now I have good supply between the filter and the fuel pump, but when I crack off one the the injectors or the injector pipes (back of the pump) and crank the engine over there is no sign of fuel. Also taken off the return pipe and put it into a container, cranked the engine and there is clearly a good supply of fuel on the return too. Just nothing to the injectors.
Unfortunately this still doesn't tell me if I have a problem with the loom or fuel pump. I assume that I have now narrowed it down to these two?

Not sure how much extra electricery there is on the 100 diesel compared to an 80 but you could check there's 12v at the fuel shut off solenoid or (assuming it's the same as the 80) remove the solenoid and take out the plunger, then refit but if the truck starts you'll have to pull the fuel pipe off to stop again it if it's an auto (stall it if it's a manual). _________________ Jon m0zxj

Thanks Jon
Any way to identify the fuel shut off solenoid... I'm a real diesel novice! Sounds very plausible though.

Looking at the FSM there's a lot more electricery I've assembled the fueling related bits of the engine FSM for you at www.mudtoys.com/manuals/100/08erm.pdf expand the bookmarks to see what's in there properly. _________________ Jon m0zxj

Is shut off solenoid also known as the spill control valve? cheers Nathan _________________ E320 CDI Avantegarde, C320 CDI Avantgarde (AMG) Landcruiser 100 4.2 diesel series '01 Anniversary number 118, Fiat 500 classic 1970, Fiat 500 classic 1971, Fiat 1.2 Pop 2012. |

It might be, I don't know on those engines, sorry. There's a section in that FSM pdf that tells you how to check all the sensors / solenoids on the pump though and I'd check for power at the spill control valve when the ignition is on. It's a bit more complicated than the pump on the 80 _________________ Jon m0zxj

Thanks so far Jon!
Julian was kind enough to give me a call with some great advice and further diagnostics pdfs. Strangely it did fire up briefly to day but didn't catch on - not sure what that means. Plan so far is to try to figure out diag routines, strip out the spill control valve (see if it has anything that resembles a plunger), followed by a trip to Julian's friends in Swindon RVS.
I'll post a picture of the pump later.
Best regards

Thanks for the manuals. Finally got some time to go through the FSM properly (house full of kids concentration begins after midnight).
The tests seem fairly straight forward with a multimeter.
Really appreciate the help!

Engine stalling seems to be a fairly common problem among 1HD - FTE engines. If like me you're an enthusiast but not expert and you can still drive your truck I would seek out a real LC expert like Julian even if it means a bit of a journey (RAC/AA covered of course!)
However if the truck has come to a complete stop and is dead on the drive (like mine) or it shuts down so often it's painful, then here's what I've learnt so far with help from Jon and Julian (Thanks guys!).
Edit
Read fault symptom codes first! This will save a lot of time. If you get P1670 / 32 it's pump out. Other codes refer to the FSM.
The 100 series with fly-by-wire pumps are complex, controlled by Toyo ECD (electronically controlled diesel) controlling fuel injection and injection timing electronically
Removing the pump requires radiator removal, power steering reservoir removal, water pump, timing belt cover, Cam cover, I.P. cover & injectors. You'll need a good set of sockets (including 1/8" drive sockets & extension bars), a 32mm socket to turn the crank pulley, a bearing pulley to push the pump out and about three days of spare time (rushing the job could be costly - you need to pay attention to detail such as alignment marks and making additional matchmarks).
Not withstanding above, if you're going to press on... refer to further posts _________________ E320 CDI Avantegarde, C320 CDI Avantgarde (AMG) Landcruiser 100 4.2 diesel series '01 Anniversary number 118, Fiat 500 classic 1970, Fiat 500 classic 1971, Fiat 1.2 Pop 2012.

Anyone know how to diagnose Key Transponder, Key Transponder ECU etc? The truck is pre-OBD so can't be diagnosed with DCL3 hand held tester... Got a multimeter
Thanks

Isn't that covered somewhere in the main fsm I posted?
EDIT: BTW, I did an old fasioned diagnosis on my AHC the other day, just joined a couple of pins together on the connector by the break pedal and counted the light flashes. Maybe that would work the same way for the other systems so have a look in the AHC diagnostics section. _________________ Jon m0zxj

I'll look through the AHC section. I'm slowly making sense of the FSM - (It seems a lot of the diags assume OBD & DCL3 hand held tool).
All the best
