I'm sure this has probably been covered somewhere but I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere and don't have the luxury of reading through heaps of pages.
So driving from Townsville to dalby today made it about 40km out of Biloela and lost all power, zero boost nothing then conked out. Pulled over and checked the fuel filter primer. Soft as fuel lines soft as well. So figured I had a blocked filter. Changed them out to new ones primed it up hard cranked it over still nothing. Went and checked I hadn't f$@#&% the filter swap and no leaks. I cam prime it to hard but loses it as soon as I crank. Checked my rail pressure with torque on my phone. It's showing zero as in no rail pressure at all when I crank it. I've checked the plugs on the scv and rail both are fine all the vac lines are fine. Cranks no worries no bad noises and has no fault codes.
Any ideas? I'm about 400km from home and have a loaded car trailer hooked up. Sick to death of this pos lemon hilux

Sounds nearly like you have killed a pump. Those primers don't stay hard after you start cranking.

f$@#&% I hope not stuck along way from home

What voltage should the scv see?

This used to happen on my old Ute, would prime hard then go soft as soon as you started cranking, solution was to have someone pumping whilst you crank it until it fires.
Yours might be something more sinister though if it happened out of the blue.
Mine was only when I ran out of fuel and it must’ve sucked air into the lines

Tried pumping it while cranking still no joy pulled the return line off the pump and I'm getting nothing out of it. Timing belt is fine. So it has to be a stuck scv or a shagged pump

Bugger! That’s no good at all mate

Have you pulled the timing cover and unbolted the pump pulley?

Yep pulley was off, bought a steering wheel puller from repco which I used to crack the taper and it came out. Now the fun part of getting it all back together.
The new pump came with 2 orings only 1 came out no idea where the second one is supposed to go. Both the same diameter one is just a bit thicker

Toyz good luck mate that's a shit of a job. Just got it running then. Still need to put the timing cover back on that pulled 4 captive nuts out but that's a tomorrow problem. It runs beer o'clock

Nice one mate, finally some light at the end of the tunnel!

Thought I'd update this, the pump I installed lasted about 900km before its shat itself leaving me stranded again. Same deal as the last one, broke the input shaft internally in the pump. I've sent it back to the supplier so they can test it and see why the hell it died. I'm not a happy camper to say the least
On the plus side got it out in a bit over an hour this time, helped that all my tools were still on the bench from the first go

Surely it has to be a faulty unit!! Was it genuine??
