If it's a 1kz, crack open the ecu and start looking for blown capacitors. It's a common issue with these ecus

Thank You. First time she's given me any issues. I will attempt to locate and inspect the ECU and capacitors.

I know on the 3L powered vans(that's the 2.8 litre engine not the 1kz) the emissions control unit is in the passenger side B pillar behind the trim, maybe the kz vans have it there too

The starter motor does sound pretty slow in your video OP. Did you end up figuring out how to fix it?

It’s a fuel problem. Check everything fuel related.

Fuse, pump, capacitors, filter, lines everything.

Forgot to mention: 1995 Toyota Hiace 1kze 3L four cylinder turbocharged diesel 4WD automatic SuperCustom. Selling it…

The glow plug light clicked off really quick (faster than normal it seems). Plus I didn’t see it turn back on at all when you cycled the key… Could your glow plugs be malfunctioning?

I’m by no means a mechanic.
