I drive a 2006 Innova (D4D engine) and i'm currently experiencing many of the symptoms mentioned in this thread, mainly:
1. engine choking/kumakadyot/pumapalya (on low gears - 1 to 3), and then sometimes stalls after.
2. when starting, I have to rev the engine (otherwise it just dies)
The choking/stalling started some months ago so I had the fuel filter replaced...it worked fine for the next 3 months or so. Problem started acting up again the past few weeks.
Brought it to Toyota, was quoted around 15k for the SCV kit, filter changes, and pull-down/cleaning/straining of the fuel tank. This is my first time to have this sort of work done, so I'd like to know, is that fair (seems a little steep to me)? Or could I find a better deal elsewhere? No longer covered by warranty so I guess just buying the SCV, etc and then having it done elsewhere is a better idea. From the little back-reading I did, methinks all I really need is have the SCV replaced.
Also, can one buy the valve outside Toyota? Where? How much?
If anyone's had similar problems as above, how'd you get it resolved? How much did it cost?
Sorry for the many questions, I'd just really like to get this issue sorted. Grateful for any help.
Thanks in advance
