IKZTE ENGINE PROBLEM

Post by Newal Singh »

My 1KZte engine starts properly,drives for about 20 minutes smoothly and then gives a burst of mixture of white,blue,black smoke and the engine cuts off.On some occasions after the burst of smoke,the engine raises,spilling out thick dark smoke and a knocking sound comes on as if the engine will explode.In this case I have to turn off ignition key to stop engine.If an attempt is made to start the engine immediately,it will crank but bellow smoke and will not run.A 15-30 minute wait ,engine starts and will run for another 5 mins and same problem. Atleast two hour wait and it can go for 20 mins again.Can any one help?.

The ECU's are prone to failure of the capacitors...
Which gives engine issues...As you describe...
Anything Electronic in Nelson can test and fix for a good price.

If you can see if you can swap an ecu with a good one to test.
