    i own a97 taco 2.4L auto RWD and it will randomly shut off with no warning at all. check engine light comes on but the obd scanner does not pick up any code When it does stall everything electrical is still on (radio, lights etc.).its almost like i just turned the the truck off while driving. ive changed already the Mass Air Flow sensor and the EGR but it is still giving me the same issue. any one that has any ideas or advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Try another ECM, maybe and good luck!

    Can you keep it idling while giving it gas?

    Clogged fuel line?
    Bad fuel pump?
    Does electricity and everything shut off or just like lack of gas? Complete shut down?
