1997 Tacoma A Lot of Problems No CEL (SOLVED)

ima buy one, and funny enough i already read your post about a month ago lol ive tooken it to muff shop and they said its nit rattling

 

I tried that aswell, same thing

 

So I booked an appointment at the stealership on Saturday @7am, ill keep updating to help someone else down the road, thx everyone

 

Thank you. I’m dying to hear what is found. Maybe you should start a gofund me to pay the dealership....

 

Yeah I’m also curious to see what theyll find...if anything, I’m keeping my hopes not too high cus i wouldnt be surprised if they say “we dont know”, but yeah stay tuned i’ll update

 

I checked my battery voltage last night hoping it was drastically low and would give me something else to try - nope... 12.58 v

 

So I went to the stealership today @7:30am and boy am I glad i booked an appointment cus when I got there it looked like a line before the dmv opens, so 7hours later they told me from what they gathered was OEM trans and engine mounts and the hesitation was from my driveshaft, what do yall think? I checked my transmounts myself got like 3 different opinions on mechanics said they looked good,i changed the engine mounts myself a month ago, so thats what they told me.....

I’ll update as I will get these installed

 

I'm definitely curious if mounts fixes your situation. I've wondered that for myself. I bought Beck Arnley mounts thinking they would be OK but I've read people having issues with non-OEM mounts so ‍I dunno

 

Really.... well, that’s why they get 125hr but it ain’t my problem for sure. Normally runs generally crappy (by my standards anyway) then, out of the blue it begins running like an entirely different truck but only for a short time then it’s back to usual... I hope it solves your problems though

 

They said needed oem mounts, also drive shaft was giving me hesititation from takeoff even after greasing, I just ordered the engine mounts and trans mount online oem should be here 12/20 I should have them installed next week Saturday, I also will have my new muffler installed this coming weekday, as far as the driveshaft its about $500 for part, ima take it to a shop first and see what they can do

 

So after ordering the oem transmount toyotapartsdeal cancelled on me because it was discontinued aswell as dealer, so I bought one off of oreilly and when getting ready to install you can clearly see they were different, i returned the part told the guy the part was wrong, but the part number12371-035090 was the correct one the one on mine looks like a v6 one but i have a 4cylinder auto..........im stumped, help

 

not sure if this helps but 1237175090 is the part number for my 99 4cyl auto 2WD PRERUNNER.

if you want to find the right one for your truck go to toyodiy.com and plug in your vin.

the part is called “INSULATOR, ENGINE MOUNTING, REAR NO.1”

 

I did purchase the correct part for the truck turns out it’s discontinued nationwide, went on Amazon and Toyota sells it, but when checking fitment it says wont fit, well it will because they just have a picture of part number, but the funny thing is that theyre not gonna ship it till March 26, 2020 .....so yeah gotta wait, but thanks

 

What was the outcome of all of this? Is it finally running right or was it burned beneath an overpass in Philadelphia?

 

where and how much was the ECM? i got on off ebay for my truck but didnt know about this TSB. is it for any 2.7 ECM ex. automatic or manual, federal or california emissions?

 

if possible take the exhaust off after the cat / before the muffler... I am thinking the reason the previous owner replaced the cat might be because it broke apart and the bits could be plugging the exhaust.

 

I would say have the dealer throw as many parts at it that they are willing to try, but be sure to tell them you're only paying for the parts that actually FIX the problem.

 

Truck still shakes at idle but ive learned to live with it, hey it still turns on everytime and has NEVER LEFT ME so im good with that, but i would say i will eventually get a cel or it probbly is my exhaust but it looks good

 

Was like 500$ didnt fix my problem, hust search toyota for the fsm

 

WHAT?!?!?? It can’t end this lamely! I’ve been following closely for a loooong time. Look, I just ordered a FPR for mine, it’s the only thing on my friggen truck I haven’t replaced attempting to cure the slight stumble. If this doesn’t fix it I will be adding comprehensive and will burn it along the Jersey Pike. You need to follow through! Geeeeeezus
