dretaco 03-19-2002, 09:10 PM I was going pretty fast with my taco this morning and when I stpped at a light, it stalled why did it do this???
CBR_Taco 03-19-2002, 09:12 PM did you forget to put the clutch in?
dretaco 03-19-2002, 09:21 PM No, it was like the rpm's droppped at the light and thats it, it dyed for no reason, and has happened before.
CBR_Taco 03-19-2002, 09:23 PM i was just playin anyway.. does it start up again with no problems?
dretaco 03-19-2002, 09:26 PM Yeah its cool now. It just gets me worried, I don't want it to turn in to a big problem or something.
TRDStreetFighter 03-19-2002, 10:10 PM this use to happen to me. There reason is that your fuel filter is clogged... this is what I was told.. after changing it was fine.. actually what have you done with your taco... it could be many reasons... usually timing... but for the 4 banger we have a chain time...i dunno about the V6

H8RSTYLE 03-20-2002, 11:37 AM do you have any custom gauges put in or a tach? that could be the reason.. if it is hooked up wrong it will mess with the iginition, my truck did that once cause of a tachometer that a shop installed wrong.
dretaco 03-20-2002, 01:10 PM actually they messed up my white face iniglow and my speedometer does not work, maybe its cause of that.
H8RSTYLE 03-20-2002, 01:42 PM maybe if those gauges are grounded out wrong it will mess with all your controls.... how long ago did you get indiglos?
dretaco 03-20-2002, 06:58 PM i got them like a month ago.
H8RSTYLE 03-21-2002, 10:48 AM hmmm unless they messed with the wires going to the ignition or your ecu then that would cause your truck to suddenly just shutdown. My truck did the same thing but that is cause they messed with the coil packs and they grounded my wires wrong under my dash.... Have you looked at the wiring they did? what else have you put in your truck that has to do with wiring? check all wires to make shure one isn't stripped and touching metal..
Akhwa475 03-21-2002, 10:50 AM usually when you put on face guages the needles get thrown out of wack and you have to try to recalibrate them again...this has happened to me while installing indiglos for civics, accords, and so on. you just have to be patient....for the stalling part..does the truck idle low?
dretaco 03-21-2002, 10:54 AM Yes, it does idle low usually.
Akhwa475 03-21-2002, 11:02 AM i'm thinking it maybe the fuel filter...or it can be the electronic idler control on the throttlebody...sometime the ecu gets throw out of whack....and the controller runs for like 400 bucks...so try changing the fuel filter and see if it helps...if not you might have to get toyota to service it. what year is your taco?
dretaco 03-21-2002, 11:05 AM mine is a 96.5, this problem only happens when i really push it and speed and then come to stops.
Akhwa475 03-21-2002, 11:09 AM hmmm...have you changed your oil lately?and how often?...this ones a tricky one...haha
dretaco 03-21-2002, 11:12 AM i get it changed at toyota every 4000 or so, maybe this might be it
H8RSTYLE 03-21-2002, 02:36 PM how does you engine sound? are your injectors dirty? is your air filter clean? check all wiring, clean filter, change gas filter, check all the basics that make your truck run.... but check all wiring as well
dretaco 03-21-2002, 02:42 PM thanx, i'll give it a look
H8RSTYLE 03-21-2002, 02:48 PM [b]good luck bro.
TRDStreetFighter 03-21-2002, 09:18 PM OKAY... well I have a 96 tacoma as well... I had the same problem months ago... CHANGE your Fuel Filter!!!! I did it and now the problem went away... every 30,000 you are suppose to change your fuel filter

dretaco 03-22-2002, 12:17 AM i'll give it a shot, thanks
ToyTaco 03-22-2002, 12:47 AM Where did you get your indiglo gauges?
dretaco 03-22-2002, 10:45 AM i got them on ebay for 50 bucks. there is a lot of places an d styles. mine is white face and glows blue or green at night w/ adjustable brightness,they also have flame gauges.
