A technician was facing a strange issue with a 2015 Toyota Land Cruiser with a 5.7L V8 engine. It was experiencing what he described as a strange loss of power output. Motor Age Technical Editor Brandon Steckler jumped in to help with the diagnosis.
The Toyota Land Cruiser is known for its top-notch durability and most of the Land Cruiser issues occur at low mileage. It is one of the few vehicles that can deliver up to 400,000 miles without major issues if you give it proper maintenance.
A bad fuel pressure regulator on your Toyota Land Cruiser can lead to various performance issues, affecting your driving experience and fuel efficiency. Symptoms of a malfunctioning fuel pressure regulator include poor engine performance, loss of fuel, and other emission-related issues.
Could it be that the pressure sensor is at fault, not reporting the right pressure? (Looks like your pressure reading is from the scan tool only, in which case you haven''t verified the actual pressure, and the ECM could be as fooled as you are)

It means that your Land Cruiser''s EVAP system has detected low fuel tank pressure. The evaporative emissions control system (EVAP) sends fuel vapors from the fuel tank to the intake manifold to be burned off.
The turbo pressure builds up nicely to 2.0 bar / 29 psi and it builds pressure quite fast. I also checked the valve that regulates the turbo pressure and the vacuum.
