Toyota HiAce Engine Problems

It’s unlikely to be in your engine as such; rather it’s probably associated with the engine’s intake system. As it’s new take it to your Toyota dealer and have them fix it under warranty.

The key to getting a decent run out of the iLoad is to change the oil more frequently. Change it every 5000 km. But if you’re not sure about its reliability certainly walk away. The HiAce is probably the best bet for you, but you could consider a VW Transporter, Mercedes-Benz Vito or Renault Trafic.

If it’s starting ok at other times then it won’t the fuel pump. It’s more likely to be a sensor that’s at fault, the computer isn’t getting the message that it’s cold and it’s not giving any cold enrichment, which the engine needs to start and run while the engine warms up. Have your mechanic check the temperature sensor.

It's most likely to be an engine sensor, or a wiring connection associated with one, that's the problem. Unfortunately, intermittent problems are hard to detect, because they rarely occur when the mechanic is there to witness it.

Certainly the experience of car owners varies considerably. Some are telling us there is next to no difference when they use E10, others are like you and say there is a marked difference. We need more experience at this stage to get a good understanding of the real effect.
