| Description of the problem | I am concerned that this may occur on my car as well. Check engine light came on and the dealer diagnosed it as a misfire in one of the cylinder. Direct injector went bad causing detonation. This is now becoming a common problem with this vehicle. Yet, the manufacture refuse to acknowledge this issue. The root cause i believe is a improper ecu tune. South africa toyota issued a tsb. Please see link http://www. Ft86club. Com/forums/showpost. Php? P=1055748&postcount=5. |
