Q: Engine shutters on start up.

asked by on February 25, 2017

I have a 2006 Toyota Hilux 3.0L Turbo Diesel which had new injectors about 12 months ago. Just recently when I first start the engine in the morning it sound shuttery and its a bit shaky? After its been running for about 4-5 minutes its OK again. Its never missed a service and always runs well until this recent problem? Its done 208,000 kilometers. Whats wrong with it?

My car has 208000 miles.
My car has a manual transmission.
