Help!

Thanks guys 'n' gals I'll check them tomorrow.

The Fuel filter hasn't been changed whilst I've had it and I've no idea how long, if ever, it was done before. Is it straightforward to change, and where is it?

Not sure but I think it's in line with the gas tank.

Should be passenger side ... about 1/2 way back. Someone who has actually changed theirs will have to chime in with more details.

Nick, I volunteer to walk under it for you, until I see what appears to be a fuel filter.

One fuel filter coming right up
Its near the axles link. just in under the chassis.

I replaced mine when I bought a bunch of Amsoil products recently. They seem to have excellent oil & filters so I thought why not go with their fuel filter too. Any opinions on brands?

Same thing happened to me and it was the Fuel Pressure Regulator and Idle control valve.

Well I replaced the filter and no different

I also read somewhere that there is a filter inside the fuel tank that can get clogged - anyone had any experience of this?

Also checked all plugs and all seem ok. Also unplugged them when engine was running and none seemed to make any difference

Littlebeast - can you tell me where they are and what they look like?

Anybody got any other ideas?

Thanks

Nick

Thank you Sir - I will check it out. Do you know if it is the same for the 3.2 JDM engine?

I've seen this which looks different, but lists it for a 3.2 Trooper: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FUEL-...Q5fAccessories

Or this looks like your one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/01-02...Q5fAccessories

Thanks

Still not getting very far with this problem, but someone who knows the same engine from a Vauxhall Frontera has suggested a gearbox fauly or low fluid level. I'm tempted to believe him as the TOD check light has now started coming on intermittently when the car is idling. It goes off if you rev it.

I tried checking the fluid level, but its kind of hard to read - there is no definative level, more a smear of fluid all up the dipstick.

Does any one have any experience of gearbox problems? What actually causes the TOD Check light to come on? Is there a set list of possibilites?

Could gearbox/fluid level problems affect the engine revs? I dunno if the gearbox ecu has a direct effect on the engine or not?

Cheers

Nick
