? about my step dads tundra

first off, i didnt want to register over at tundra solutions just for one question so im hoping someone here can answer it for me or give some possible solution...


its a 03 tundra access cab trd off road, 88k miles. check engine light came on a few days ago... we took it to auto zone and had them read it... came back as some emissions code... (the dude was of no help and thats all he said) gas cap was on too.... idk if the gas cap is just bad.... he says it used to release pressure when he opens it but does not now... none of my cars (except the pre taco) release pressure so im not sure that could be it.


anyone have any ideas?


thanks!

 

My 02 tundra gave me an emissions code at about 60,000 miles. The code was for the 02 sensors (2 of them), they where covered under a 80,000 mile warranty. I was told it was a fairly frequent issue on the truck. Can't be certain but maybe thats his issue.

 

The engine light came on in my girlfriends jeep yesterday. I went to autozone and asked them to plug in and get the code, them bitches told me Autozone doesn't read engine codes anymore.

 

my 2001 tundra (sold 3 days ago for new taco) always released alot of pressure when i would unscrew the gas cap,

 

no codes is like fishing with no lure.

 

California has changed the laws. They no longer let autozone or similar facilities do the check. You cant even rent the code reader anymore. Gosh damn California!

 

snap on,mac tools

 

Lame. Time to get a scanguage

 

sweet thanks! i will try and get the truck from him one day and get the codes read again.. i will mention the 02 sensors to him also. im wondering if this is the problem because we haven't changed anything like that since he bought the truck.

and im about to buy a scan guage II for the current car (p.o.s. santa fe) you can switch cars with the same one cant you? will be buying a taco in the next year or so... want to pull the scan guage out and put it in the truck.

 

Yea you can.. and don't call the Santa Fe a P.O.S I happen to like my mom's Sante Fe, it's fun to drive!

 

its fun to drive when it isnt giving me issues (no i dont drive like a bat out of hell either).. guess its better than no car though.



thanks guys i will get back to you on a code as soon as i get the chance

 

Yeah... well I drive mine like a bat out of hell haha tho of course when I say 'mine' I mean my moms.


She doesn't drive it like crazy tho. And her's hasn't had any breakdowns or anything tho..

 

lol mine hasnt broke down yet but have had to work on alot of things... that car is not easy to work on either.... to get to the spark plugs in the back... you have to take the intake and throttle cable off.... wtf! idk who thought of that but they need to be kicked in the nuts
