2009 Taco weird stalling incident

Thanks challenger. What do you mean by "hold the key to start?" Thanks!

 

I wouldn't worry about it too much, unless you're hearing a clunking or jumps in rpms or rattling or anything like that. You said you heard a pop when it happened?

 

I would buy a new ...

What's the best way/place to find those parts? After market and from who? Thanks!

 

Yeah, I guess the immobilizer shuts of the spark plugs and the fuel pump. I think the Poof I heard may have just been one of the pistons finishing up its cycle without adequate fuel and spark, thus making the odd Poof sound. I only worried because we do a lot of road trips to very remote locations. I afraid it will happen again, when we are in the middle of nowhere.

 

Eh, well if you’re ever going out alone, make sure someone knows where you went and how long you should be gone! So they know when to start worrying

What I normally do is get the part numbers from dealership or just online research and then just start shopping in the internet

or just go to Napa or whatever you have in the area.

 

Mine used to do it all the time it's from leaving your keys in the ignition you have to program a computer not to use this function lock and unlock your Dooors 3 times using key fob then put your keys in and turn the car on lock and unlock three more times then turn off pull the keys out lock unlock three more times done

 

Is this documented somewhere? Have a link?

Not doubting it worked for you. Just curious about the source of this "fix" or work around.

 

it works on a 08

 

So, no link or documentation?

 

I found it on here somewhere. Disconnecting the batt or waiting 20 mins works but doesn't turn off this function
