Hilux Wont Start After Heating Up

[nala4ever]

HI All,

I have a 1988 toyota hilux, And it starts perfectly at any given time. And i can even drive it long distances too. However if you stop the vehicle after it heats up, (5 mins after running or 2-3 hours of running) i cant start it until it cools down.

Im guessing this is something related to the coolant temperature sensor. Can someone here please advice,

Thanks in advance.

yep, the pump becomes hard after several pumps. And even after i replaced the diesel filter, The issue still exists :S

Then the likely candidate is the pump. Get it serviced and test after.

Where the rubber lines connect to the copper lines, make sure you have adjustable clamps and they are tight, and the pipes do not move around.

Hi folks,

I took it to the electrician today because i wasn't sure if its the pump because there's no miss or anything, he pointed out that the fuel cut off switch in the pump is faulty, so i got it replaced and all is well now
