Hi, I just noticed your post because I had a similar problem with my Toyota Hiace. It really sounds like the engine control unit could be the culprit. Can you perhaps remember how much the repair cost you? And did anything else cause problems afterwards or was everything OK? Thanks for your help!

Hello, sure, I still remember that. It cost me €1000 to repair the engine control unit. It's no mean feat, but since then the engine has been running smoothly again, and the problem with the misfiring was also solved after the mechanic's visit. No further problems have arisen since then. I hope this helps you! All the best!

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I think the price is absolutely justified for the reassurance and the fact that the engine is running perfectly again. It's great to hear that everything is fine since your visit to the mechanic. I'm definitely going to see another mechanic now and hopefully he can solve the problem as well as you did. Thanks again and all the best!

Hi, I had similar problems with my 2015 Toyota Hiace. My car had problems accelerating and the engine light was constantly on. I was told that the engine control unit was faulty. It sounds really bad, but luckily it's not a life-threatening condition. After the repair, my car ran like new again. So it could well be that your car has the same problem. Try another mechanic, maybe they'll do a better job. Hope this helps you!
