Tip: The max point reward for answering a question is 15.
no year car told nor miles on it. 1990 to 2019, no country told.
2.2L oil burner.
a Previa variant car.
1990 -1999 wiki said "The Estima Emina and Estima Lucida were also available with a 2.2-liter diesel engine (3C-T and 3C-TE)" w/and ,w/o intercooler.
so you forgot to say full engine name is/was a Turbo and if is
that , does it only overheat on BOOST>?
there is no answer to that, should I questions (but yes)
many engine (means toss coin) STAT pulled cause turbulence to the pump and now the pump impeller messes up and flow decreases.
and if not the temperature runs way too cool 150f is common.hot idle.
180 to 200F is normal.(STAT in place) your auto part store will tell you.
now the list of overheat causes.
1: the cooling system is failing, (alarge list)
clogged radiator,
pump impeller blades rusted to nothing or 1/2 way.
some one forgot to burp the loop of all air. and RAD level cold is way way too low of AF , anti freeze coolant.
2: using water only and not 50% antifreeze,never just water.
3: fans dead rear oif RAD.
4: fan shroud lost. (other owners bad acts)
5: old cars with fan thermal clutch the clutch is bad.
6: fan belt slips at fan or pump. or both, (year car told)
7:old hoses (big) bad and collapsing inside. hidden.
8: side RAD overflow bottle missing or bad or hoses inside and outside missing so every day you run the engine coolant is lost to the ground,.
9: bad head gasket engine burns coolant or far worse engine cracks
10 head in engine cracked, or just warped.
I-4 engines have no valley gasket so it is not leaking V6/v8
11: and coolant lost to ground,front passenger foot wells
12: coolant lands in Oil pan ,oil looks like milk chocolate.
i'm sure missed, 5+ more points of leak failures. sure.
No. engine mounts, electrics, ecu, axels and a whole lot of other stuff would need to be changed and cut and welded.even after that you could have a host of other difficulties. not an easy task for even the experienced engineer.
And I am sure the car is gutless. There is little that you can do with it if it has died. You might be able to find another one at a scrap dealer and it is not too difficult to do the change over. The cost of a new one will bring tears to your eyes but the 2c engine is bulletproof and will give you thousands of miles of hassle free travelling. The older turbo engines need to be idled for a couple of minutes after a run to let the turbo wind down. If you don't they will run without oil and suffer premature failure.
It may be the starter motor contacts which are worn. I have done this twice (on 2 different estima's myself. The starter will not turn or not properly. New contacts for these Denso starters are available on ebay from nipponnev for about £10 delivered and take about 1 hour to fit. No need to buy another starter. Hope this helps. Regards, Paul
put a 12 volt test meter on the battery with the engine off and get the reading.
then start the engine and retest the volts it should go up a volt ot two.
if the test readings are the same then the alternator is bad.
thank you
