What's your plan? I'm not in a rush either

 

No plan so far, the boss just told me the general direction we are heading when the LX is ready haha.

 

No pressure eh. Soon she’s going to be calling me to get over there

 

Or....

@Norilsk

@tacoma16

 

I already offer mechanical/engineering services

I’ll leave fabrication to @tacoma16

 

man you changed....
what happened 2 weeks there and back?

 

@TacoPandaTRD Is over that direction lol

 

We can do that next year lol

 

Don't forget the value-added service of project management.

In other news, watch for this health issue:

 

good luck and have fun. I just finished a 2 week road trip with two small kids and the wife. Going down was fun but the return trip was the hardest.(only a really long drive ahead lol) I would go through Canada there and the USA back. Two different trips.

 

this happened, can’t go more than 2 hours sitting in one, getting old lol

 

Me Tacoma is refusing to drive me to work today.
I'm 4kms down the road, stopped on the shoulder. Taco is acting like its out of gas, but has sufficient.

was cruising at 90km/h on a paved road, bogged a lil, then slowly died on the way to the curb.

taco will restart everytime, but die within 5 seconds. It never establishes a good idle. I can coax it along with a boot full of throttle, but let off and it fizzles and dies.

no codes

fuel pump dying? Or Idle air circuit dirty?

 

Fuel pump resistor probably should not be Bluetooth

 

That sounds very fuel pump-y to me. I would think with a dirty IAC it'd rev fine, just not idle.

 

I was... Semi correct?

 

I wonder if the fuel pump resistor being obsoleted by corrosion, let the fuel pump run too hard and start to fail..

Is there a way to load test the fuel pump still installed?

it revs OK, but has a 3,000rpm lower limit, wont work below that. Think im gonna drag it home, figure it out not on a shoulder

It looks like the ECU controls if the Pump runs through the resistor, or direct.

Probably would just be running rich if you bypassed that resistor and just connected the 2 wires. good enough to get home.

 

Rescued by another Toyota.
Buddy dragged me home.
New resistor ordered.
Should know better tomorrow

 

Yes, ECU controls low or high speed via the resistor.

No, it wouldn't run rich.

The fuel pressure regulator is at the end of the fuel rail and all excessive fuel is dumped back to the gas tank. The purpose of the resistor is to run the pump slow in low demand and shift it to high speed during high demand so as to prevent a pressure drop. What determines the air fuel ratio (in a very basic description) is controlled by the sensors in the intake and exhaust .

 

This is a great @3JOH22A question
