Strada PMS thread [ARCHIVED]

[locoroco777]

I also about SCV failure on Montero bec. of its shared components with the Strada. Is there a way to prevent premature SCV failure?

well, I haven't experienced SCV failure yet and I hope I'll never will.. But the thing is I always drive on highways and not so often on city roads...So I think the unintentional (but good) deterrent was the driving routes itself...because of the high revs that is always being done when I'm driving.....through this I think, it somehow helps on flushing the carbon out of the fuel system....


So my suggestion for city peeps...forget your fuel consumption from time to time and when you see some wide open road floor the gas pedal hehe...because IMO it will certainly help prevent SCV failure...

But then again...there is still our basic SOP's

like..

always make sure to refill at a reputable gas station,

When you see a tanker at a station ask the gasboy if its done loading fuel already...and if not...then probably what you still have in the station tank is "latak"...so proceed to the next station,

do the proper PMS so your SCV and EGR can be checked from time to time for the mechanic to see its current state...
