Tacoma 2019 TRD Sport Engine problem

glad to hear. I think if Toyota actually see the problem they try to get a solution.

but I might not have a good dealership.
First Oil change the guy tighten the drain bold to much damaged the seal. And my brand new Tacoma was leaking oil I was super angry...

that’s what you get with free Oil changes. Everything included in a package zzzzz

 

I live in north surrey, so not too bad. I can meet you this saturday after work for a bit, so maybe 4-5. We can meet by red racer brewery, lots of nice open roads. Sunday im busy and next weekend im helping my parents all weekend. Let me know man.

Ill send you my phone number.

 

I would avoid dealerships for maintence at all costs. Better to do it yourself, at least it will be done right.

 

Were you on oak street in vancouver around 9 am this morning? I saw short bed white taco sport with MT.

 

false

 

Strange, usually dealers tell the truth.

 

the truth is in the eye when you hold her

 

or is it in the eye of the beholder

 

No clue, thats above my pay grade.

 

Hi Guy’s Thanks for the answers....

I will try to figure it out and post it after on here.

I have now some ideas what I can do and see if that helps.... luckily I still have warranty on it

 

If you floor it at low speed/low rpm the engine will buck a little.

 

Unacceptable

 

Agree, mine does not do that.

 

The Vancouver market burns over 5 billion litres of gasoline a year from multiple sources. If this fuel was an issue, I think it would be more than just you noticing a problem. Any dealer that tells you to burn 94 octane should pay the difference in price. You are dealing will mental midgets at your dealership. Seek better advice elsewhere.

So i drove OPs truck today. Can confirm there is a slight vibration/shaking at lower rpms when applying more load to the engine.

He has been using 94 and said its much better now, but this 3.5 does not need 94 to run properly. The dealer said to use 94, what a load of shit.

When i got in my truck after, i noticed a difference, it was much smoother acceleration.

I have no clue what that could be, any ideas?

Fuel pump maybe?

Edit: he drove mine and noticed a difference right away.

 

Is the truck lifted?

 

No, completely stock, including the tires.

 

Almost sounds like a motor mount gone bad. Or loose.

 

My sport below gave me tons of problems from taco ticks to engine miss fired and trans issues with the tail pipe filled with black sooth like a diesel. Every time I took it to the dealer, they told me it was normal. Traded in to the TRD OR and run smoother and faster than a Camry. Taco ticks is gone, trans shift is smooth, sounds of the tail pipe is louder than the engine, and no more black sooth.

 

One thing to maybe try, is take the neg terminal off the battery for 30+ mins.
Puts the ecu back to the default settings and into re-learn mode.
