[bhaule]

Hi there
its my first time here and find the forum very interesting and helpful. im living in Tanzania, Africa, owning a Toyota Mark II IRS, JZX110 D4 vvti engine. i recently noticed a check engine light on and trc light blinking when the car engine get stressed or driven for say 10km.it may go off after 5-10minutes and sometimes may last for 20minutes+.when the lights get on, the idle is rough, rpm gets between 600 to 1000. i always use high octane gasoline and change oil after every 3000km. access to quality motor vehicle service is trick here but i have some basic skills in car mechanics.any one to assist please

to Toyota Nation! I really love Tanzania. I've been there twice and loved every minute I was there, it's very beautiful!

Your Mark II is not a common vehicle, at least here on TN, so I'd recommend you search or ask around the Corona forum as that model is the predecessor to your car, or the Camry forums which succeeded your model. Hope you find a resolution.
