4JA1 Engine, Are there any problems?

[ExROLLA]

bago ka magpa-emission test maglagay ka ng biodiesel. it will help you pass the test. that's what i do every registration.

1 liter biodiesel to a half full tank or less para matapang. then bomba ng accelerator bago pumunta sa emission testing center. labatiba na rin.

sir: thanks for the suggestion... i'll take note of it... by the way, where do you get your biodiesel? i also live in cavite... are you refering to the biodiesel that you could easily buy at regular gas stations like flying v or the pure biodiesel which is being sold by small / independent dealers? TIA!

[ramledi]

biodiesel na sold in bottles yan. sa flying v molino ako bumubili wala kasi sa mga auto supply na malapit dito sa amin. kaya pinagtyatyagaan ko na bumibili sa flying v. php156/bottle ang kuha ko. 1 litter na sya. mas mura sana kung di sa gas station mismo. tapos sa petron ako nagpapakarga ng diesel.

baka meron dyan na nakakaalam kung saan nakakabili ng biodeisel dito sa cavite, las piñas or muntinlupa na mura help naman

Hello, mga Sirs, patulong naman dun sa problem ng hilander ko. Nabili ko ng 2nd hand few months ago, ok nung una takbo kaso lang ngayon eh namamatay engine sa idling (700-800 rpm). Pag nagbrake sa stop light at nagneutral ako, mag off pa rin engine. pero kung naka engage gear say sa 2nd at nakatapak sa clutch hindi mag off engine. Then, kung mag neutral na (kasi naka red light na) minsan mamatay pa rin. Pinalitan ko na fuel pump, fuel filter, pina baba ko na fuel tank, nilinis na fuel line. Ganoon pa rin. Tinest ang fuel injector kung may problem. Nag direct ng fuel supply from a plastic gallon without passing the fuel pump and fuel filter. ok naman. di nag off at pino ang takbo ng engine. Saan na kaya ang problem?? Gustong buksan ng mekaniko yung fuel injector eh mukhang ok nman. di nga nag off engine eh nung direct ang fuel supply. di kaya nahihirapan yung fuel injector na humigop kung may filter at pump?

yung injection pump na check na ba? baka kailangan na ng calibration.

[TAMSDep]

mag sirs, just want to ask kung paano pumino takbo ng hilander, napa calibrate ko na fuel pump injector, linis nozzles, palit fuel filter and sedimentor (manual pump) , linis tanke pati fuel lline, nag vivibrate parin yung engine. although di na ganoong kalakas pero di pa rin pino yung takbo ng engine. gumagalaw(vibrate) ung kambyo kahit idling. rpm is 700-800 with and without AC.

normal lang naman sa old diesel ang manginig. pwera na lang kung yumuyugyug ka sa loob ibang usapan na yun hehehe

pagmasdan mo yung makina mo habang naka-idle. kapag consistent ang nginig normal yun. pero kapag every now and then nasusundan ng malakas na nginig ayun ang may problema. either madumi ang injection nozzle o may air sa fuel line.

baka nga pala may nakakaalam ng part number ng injection nozzle natin paki reply naman. balak ko kasing magpalit ng injection nozzle para bago uli.

Taga Central Diesel yan mabait, madaling kausap, at di ka lolokohin.

Pasensya na sir lately ko lang na realize kayo pala si ramon di pa ako nakatawag sa inyo medyo busy lang di ko pa maasikaso kaagad hilander.

Sorry baka OT rin ito, balak ko rin sana mag upgrade to Trooper, yung 4JG2 para easier to maintain. Worth it ba to replace my 2000 XTRM w/ a 99 Trooper? Malaki ba difference sa prices ng parts, fuel consumption, reliability, etc.? Ano ba going rates ng 99 Trooper ngayon? Thanks again!

Malaki. The Trooper requires:

• 2 Oil Filters
• 2 Gal. BESCO Oil (special oil)

... and prices of these are higher than a Hilander (XTRM). The Trooper is a 3.0L vs. a 2.5L Hilander --- so it is expected that Hilander would be more fuel efficient.

In terms of speed, comfort and image.... no brainer, Trooper wins vs. the Hilander.

Besides, it's comparing apples and oranges....

[niwde11]

benz; it think he is only looking for the older trooper(4jg2). not the newer one.

Ehehe! My mistake.... if a 4JG2, go, go, GO! Maintenance and acquisition may still be a little more expensive than that of a Hilander but surely is all worth it. The challenge here is getting a well-maintained, local unit. If you see one and is priced fairly, that'll be a perfect Chjristmas gift to yourself.

hehe, thanks sir Really looking into these 4JG2 models since I've read a lot from you guys about the 4JX1 How about the suspension, aircon, electricals? no major headaches? I've seen some units selling for 520-530K, would this be a fair price, assuming it's in good condition? Looks well-kept also(at least from the photos).

Honestly, 4JA1 mounted on your XTRM is a good engine. Its 2.5L direct injection is much efficient than a 4JG2 3.1L indirect injection. Direct injection engines are more efficient, stronger but noisy. kung 4JB1 2.8L also direct injection with intercooler turbo ang nilagay nila sa crosswind maganda sana.

Mahirap humanap ng 99 trooper kasi kaunti lang nilabas because transition unit ito. Old engine new facade kasi siya. Owners keep them because its low maintenance, a true workhorse, four wheel drive on the fly and wala ng papalit na mas magandang model kasi stop production na.

Engine maintenance is about the same as your crosswind just for bigger filters and more oil. Suspension and drive train is what makes it expensive, bigger shocks, brake pads, disk, tires, balljoints, bushing and supports.

I am a satisfied owner, if you find a 99 trooper that is well maintained for less than 500 thousand get it.

I've seen one sa net selling for 530k, looks well maintiained too. If only I had the money now I think the extra costs on the parts would all be worth it since as you said it's a true workhorse and is low maintenance as well. My only concern now is the availability of parts, since stop production na? Thanks again!

Walco, Jayson and Isuzu Philippines always been a good source of parts.
Ebay and Banawe are also a good source. Just remember that if you need parts that needs to be LHD trooper you source it at Ebay US like steering column/box etc. while engine and other parts that can come from RHD bighorns without any problems like power steering pumps, hydrovac etc. goto Banawe or Ebay Uk.

PM me if you have problems sourcing, i might have it in my "bodega"

Goodluck!

Thanks, that's good to know, lalo tuloy akong naglaway sa Trooper knowing na ok naman ang parts-sourcing. Hopefully makapag PM nako kagad sa iyo sooner, and mabenta ko hilander at a good price

Nagawa mo na halos lahat ng possibilidad pero meron ka nakalimutan na importante.
Ito ang na experience sa 1997 highlander (sorry not sure of the exact year model): Check mo ang dulo ng suction pipe sa loob ng fuel tank. Possible na dumikit na dulo nyan sa bottom plate ng tanke kaya pag nag pump ng fuel walang mahihigop. Ayosin mo ang lay-out ng suction pipe na palaging may clearance between bottom plate. Pwede rin lagyan ng side cut or hole ang dulo ng suction pipe para sigurado na makadaan ang krudo. Ito muna gawin mo bago ang iba pang naiisip o suggestion ng iba nating kasamahan.

Hope this help.
