🚙 2008 Toyota Hilux 1KD-FTV – Rough Idle & Misfire Diagnosed and Repaired 🔧

A customer recently returned to Cairns after an unforgettable Cape York adventure when their 2008 Toyota Hilux Dual Cab (1KD-FTV) developed a rough idle and persistent misfire.

Initially suspecting a faulty MAF sensor, the customer replaced it themselves, however the problem remained. That's when they contacted Pit Diesel Solutions to accurately diagnose the fault.

Using our diagnostic equipment, we carried out a complete engine assessment including:
✅ Retrieved and reviewed historical and pending fault codes (P1238 – Injector Malfunction)
✅ Analysed live engine data including fuel rail pressure, MAP sensor, MAF sensor, coolant temperature and engine RPM
✅ Checked injector feedback values, identifying Injector #4 with a correction value of +5.0, indicating severe over-fuelling
✅ Performed cylinder cut-out testing which confirmed Cylinder #4 was contributing little to no power
✅ Verified injector harness power supply and wiring integrity before mechanical disassembly

Following further inspection, we removed the injectors and discovered the failed #4 injector, with its sealing washer also seized in the cylinder head.

Considering the vehicle's age, injector balance readings and the customer's remaining holiday travels, the best long-term solution was to replace all four genuine fuel injectors.
The repair included:
🔧 Installation of 4 new fuel injectors
🔧 New injector sealing washers and return line seals
🔧 Cleaning injector seats and replacing rocker cover seals
🔧 Programming all injectors into the ECU
🔧 Verifying injector feedback values
🔧 Cylinder cut-out testing to confirm correct operation
🔧 Clearing and confirming no active or pending fault codes
🔧 Final road test

The result? ✅ Smooth idle, restored engine performance and another Toyota ready to continue its journey with confidence.

At Pit Diesel Solutions, we don't guess—we diagnose. Accurate fault finding saves time, money and unnecessary parts replacement.

🚨 Another diesel performance issue solved by the team at Pit Diesel Solutions 🚨

This 2019 Mazda BT-50 came into the workshop suffering from ongoing performance faults, reduced engine power and repeated limp mode activation.

After carrying out an initial road test and full diagnostic scan we identified 6 active DTC faults including:

✔️ Glow plug faults
✔️ Diesel particulate matter fault
✔️ Transmission control system fault
✔️ Mass airflow control range faults
✔️ Turbocharger under boost fault

During our inspection we identified an oil leak from the air intake pipe assembly. Further inspection revealed multiple fatigue cracks causing major boost pressure loss and triggering ongoing performance issues.

🔧 Repairs carried out:
• Replaced complete set of glow plugs
• Removed and inspected intake assembly components
• Cleaned intake manifold and associated piping
• Repaired boost leak issues caused by cracked intake piping
• Cleared and retested all active DTC faults

The failed glow plugs were also responsible for the diesel particulate matter fault and transmission control system faults making these consequential faults rather than standalone component failures. Once a complete new set of glow plugs was installed these related faults were successfully rectified.

Once reassembled, the vehicle was road tested to confirm all repairs and restore full engine performance 💪

At Pit Diesel Solutions we specialise in diagnosing and repairing diesel performance faults across a wide range of vehicles and machinery.

🚛 MAN TGS 26.540 – Low Power Fault Resolved 🔧

We recently had a return client bring in their truck with an ongoing low power issue, particularly noticeable under towing conditions.

After an initial road test of the truck we confirmed the fault and got to work with a full diagnostic scan. This revealed two key issues:
• A faulty fuel pump metering valve showing erratic readings under boost
• An active coolant level signal fault

From there we tilted the cab and replaced the fuel metering valve, followed by a thorough inspection of the turbo boost system. During this process we found and repaired a leaking turbo boost pipe seal.

We also tracked down the coolant fault to a simple but critical issue, the coolant level sensor connector hadn’t been plugged in correctly. Once reconnected everything was reassembled and ready for testing.

On the final road test under load:
✅ Fuel system performing correctly
✅ Coolant fault cleared
✅ Strong return of power and torque under towing

The root cause was a combination of the faulty fuel metering valve and coolant system fault which led the ECM to limit engine power as a protective measure.

Another truck back on the road and performing as it should 💪

⚠️ Experiencing engine low power, poor performance, or lack of torque under load?
