    maybe clean throttle body. it's drive by wire so throttle body butterfly doesn't move if truck is turned off.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    TPS going out? Throttle Position Sensor.

    Weezer, this older truck is NOT 'drive by wire'. Don't assume that all Tacomas are exactly like yours.

    Does yours have cruise control? Maybe that cable is messing with it when it's running?

    Thats a good idea. Maybe the servo is stuck on when running, so its resisting the pedal action

    my bad. i thought my old 1988 was drive by wire. sorry i got it mixed up. :D

    anyways sounds like the same solution either way. clean the throttle body.

    It shouldnt need a sensor for throttle position, its drive by wire.
