Died in traffic and won't restart?

My 2019 Tacoma manual transmission 166k miles randomly shut off while coasting in traffic. Had enough momentum to drop it in neutral and get off to the shoulder. Cranks but won't restart. Disconnected positive battery terminal for a few minutes and it started right back up. Happened again 5 minutes later. Same process, started it up, scanned for codes with OBD2, and nothing.....drove the rest of the way home and not sure what to do now. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Just shooting in the dark but was the fuel pump recall ever performed?

 

I thought you died, from the title of the thread. A Friday thread on a Monday???

Anywho, original Battery??? Could be on it's way out...

 

How old is battery? Alternator is supposed to keep the vehicle going, but I suspect battery is used at least a little to supplement the vehicle and when it it "dead enough" the truck may get confused.

 

Sounds like bad crank sensor behavior to me. I’d look in the FSM for the testing procedures of that sensor.

 

I'm 99.9% sure I got that done back when it came out. That was a few years and a lot of miles ago now you're making me seconds guess myself I gotta dig through my records.

 

It's been a rough Monday maybe it would've been better if I just died in traffic lol. Replaced the battery in June this year it's fairly new. Maybe I'll take it to Autozone and check the health of the battery before the dealership robs me.

 

You can check on the Toyota site and/or check w your dealer.

 

Was gonna recommend calling AAA after reading that title.

 

If he mentioned his dog and his ex-wife, it could be a country song.

 

Well, I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison.

 

Since it started back up after disconnecting the battery I'd guess a crank position sensor.
