VZN130 No idle.

Post by Brown Smurf »

Got my truck stuck in the swamp and it started running on 5 cylinders. Found one of the intake pipes were split and water and shit had leaked in. cleaned the water out, bush fixed the pipe and now it seems to run fine but it won't idle properly, yet sometimes it will idle fine.
Also oil pressure has been lower since but oil level is fine.
I'm going to do new oil and filters but keen on other advice to get it all back on track so any help would be appreciated.

mine used to do this with the sight of water, check and clean your plugs and leads and dizzy. i always carried a complete 2nd set, and just swapped em over, then off i went again..
any chance water has come in through air intake?

Cheers for the fast reply. Yeh I gave the leads as good clean but wasnt ready to rip the enginebay apart to get to the plugs out there but I'l do that this weekend. It had water sitting in the lower part of the pipe where there's a little box which i guess is a water trap? But it is entirely possible it went in the intake but I would've expected a bit more of a fuss from the truck if it did, But I wouldnt really know what to expect.

pull the plugs out and turn it over for a bit with them out, shuold clear most shit out, then get the compressor and blow everything electrical out + contact cleaner.

If that dont fix it, chuck a 1UZ in there :P

Make sure the air flow meter is clean and dry. They are a problem on those V6's.
