Hi all.

Just wanna know what limp home mode does to your engine.

I know it limits revs to about 2500 I found that out through searching for answers.

Will it cut cylinders?

3 and 5 aren't firing I have changed coils around changed plugs and tries new ignitor.

Also tested all wiring from ecu to coils and all were good.

Cheers.

Check with an led test light that the coilpack is getting a signal. Use the led light on the signal wire and the clip end to power and it should pulse the led test light. If it doesnt check the same wire but before the ignitor. If there is still no pulse check the same wire but at the ecu. If there is still no Pulse try another ecu

there is no limp home mode

there is backup operational modes for sensors that fail, but not a single "limp" mode

ie, if the AFM fails the REV limit is set to 2500rpm

each sensor has its own set of defined backup operational modes

not one mode suits all failures

when did your problem start

what has changed before it started

Problem started about 5 weeks ago and I have been slowly working it out as I'm a shift worker and had no time. Thought I could be afm's but when I replaced them it was the same. Then checked over all piping and that was good. So I started to play with the coil packs and noticed that I can unplug 3 and 5 with no effect to the engine revs

its good thats its doing it at idle, makes it much easier to diagnose, pull the spark plugs out and check there condition especially the dud cylinders, might have a crack in the porcelain etc, need to check them and post up some pics, keep them in order but

have you tried testing your injectors from 3 and 5?

reason is that i had similar problem with no.3 didnt fire had checked my coil pack and igniter and no luck.

i unplugged the connector from the injector and show no difference with the engine revs.

so i took no.3 and switch it with no.1 and no.3 was fine while no.1 played up. turns out injector 3 was the problem

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
