It sounds like it overheated. I am guessing a standard transmission or an automatic that was run in a lower gear?
Diesels cannot rev as high as gasoline engines by their very nature. They act like big compressors and the fuel is ignited by the pressure alone creating enough heat (no spark plugs, and their "glow plugs" are only used for cold starts...when the "wait to start" light is on). When they are over-revved, (two "v"s there, not a "w"), fuel ignites before a valve is fully closed and they will overheat very quickly, and it is possible to have this happen before your coolant gets hot enough to warn you that the engine has overheated.
It sounds like you may not have damaged anything, so you were fortunate to slow down in time before your engine went very much further into a state that is called "preignition" which can cause severe engine damage.
Try taking it a little easier and you should be OK.
How to save fuel and make your vehicle last longer, too
Improving fuel economy is easy - just take it easy. It willmake your vehicle last longer, too. Here are some specific tips on how to savemoney on both fuel and repairs.
- Keep your tires inflated at the correct pressure. Under-inflation causes tire wear and wastes fuel.
- Do not carry unneeded weight in your vehicle. Excess weight puts a heavier load on the engine, causing greater fuel consumption.
- Avoid lengthy warm-up idling. Once the engine is running smoothly, begin driving - but gently. Remember, however, that on cold winder days this may take a little longer.
- Keep automatic transmission selector lever into "D" when engine breaking is not required. Driver with the selector lever in "4" will reduce the fuel economy. (This is referring to vehicles with Automatic drive)
- Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Avoid jackrabbit starts. Get into the high gear as quickly as possible.
- Avoid long engine idling. If your have a long wait and you are not in traffic, it is better to turn off the engine and start again later.
- Avoid engine lugging or over-reversing. Use a gear position suitable for the road on which you are traveling.
- Avoid continuous speeding up and slowing down. Stop-and-go driving wastes fuel.
- Avoid unnecessary stopping and braking. Maintain a steady pace. Try to time the traffic signals so you only need to stop as little as possible or take advantage of through streets to avoid traffic lights. Keep a proper distance from other vehicle to avoid sudden breaking. This will also reduce wear on your breaks.
- Avoid heaving traffic or traffic jams whenever possible.
- Do not rest your foot on the clutch or break pedal. This causes premature wear, overheating and poor fuel economy.
- Maintain a moderate speed on high ways. The faster you drive, the greater the fuel consumption. By reducing your speed, you will cut down on fuel consumption.
- Keep the front wheels in proper alignment. Avoid hitting the curb and slow on rough roads. Improper alignment not only causes faster tire wear, but also puts an extra load on the engine, which, in turn, wastes fuel.
- Keep the bottom of your vehicle free from mud, etc. This not only lessens weight but also helps prevent corrosion.
- Keep your vehicle tuned-up and in top shape. A dirty air cleaner, carburetor out of adjustment, improper valve clearance, dirty plugs, dirty oil and grease, breaks not adjusted, etc. all lower engine performance and contribute to poor fuel economy. For longer life of all parts and lower operating costs, keep all maintenance work on schedule, and if you often drive under severe conditions, see that your vehicle receives more frequent maintenance.
Good luck.
How to change petrol fuel
On 2007 Toyota Hiace the petrol fuel filter is integrated in the fuel pump assembly placed inside fuel tank. It's not possible to change the petrol fuel filter without remove the fuel pump out from the tank. The petrol fuel filter is for fuel pump life.

Hi,I have a Toyota Hilux
Take it to a good auto electrician or a Toyota dealer to get it plugged into a diagnostic computer. The engine light is warning you of a bigger engine problem and the limited revs are to stop you doing any more damage. That's why the turbo will not kick in.

the transmission and the transfer case are two different parts. the transfer case takes the shaft power and splits it to the front and back. depending on the cable or electric motor that shifts the transfer case gears. you could have a problem with just an electric motor or cable and or the transfer case it self could be the problem. try putting the truck into neutral before trying the high and low to make it easier to work and hope it goes. the second thing is are the rear wheels working in 2wd or in 4wd or is just the front wheels working in 4wd.
