Here we go, this has now happened 4 times in the past 6 days, while driving the truck will just shut off (WTF) lose all power, pull over hit the key and it starts right back up with no hesitation. Its almost like a kill switch is being activated. It seems to only happen when coasting. It has never done it while on the gas.Power seems to be fine,everything works. Cant be the battery because it starts right back up. Please help or good bye Tacoma hello 2017-Raptor.

Child protective services?

 

Thinking the Ridgeline RLT=E, looking much better as time marches on....Ah don thin so amigo, noway....

 

Still under warranty?


If YES - take to dealer

 

Damn.. That's not at all dangerous! Take it to the dealer man, best of luck. Let us know the outcome.

 

CPS and if you have the money for a 2017 Raptor why even glimpse at the Taco?

 

Are you hitting the off button with your knee?

 

I'm a mandated reporter. I better call them about your truck

 

Since OP is in Florida, his Tacoma probably was sold by Southeast Toyota Distributors, which is famous for putting in aftermarket alarm systems before the sale. Probably a malfunction or miswiring.

Found out today that it is the MAF sensor causing the issue. I recently installed a AFE - CAI which also had a front air scoop option trhat i put on the truck. Basically i'am getting to much air across the MAF sensor which is causing the truck to die. I learned that aftermarket company's dont fully test the items the sell. I called AFE and they are working on a solution to the problem. This is the kinda risk we take when doing mods.

 

These trucks are too damn sensitive for some aftermarket options....

 

Should have went K&N ha

Thanks for the update, curious, how did you determine this?

 

Do you have an aFe oiled filter or an aFe pro dry filter?

 

FIFY

 

@Mike991GT3 another shot in the dark to help you troubleshoot: do you have any aftermarket electronics or electrical equipment? Such as LED lights or HID bulbs, etc?
