    I recently had my original fuel pump replaced at around 340-345000 miles on my 1995 toyota tacoma xtd cab, 3.4L 4X4. The original was in there before and for a week it wouldn't start up. now that the fuel pump is replaced it starts up fine but acts weird when its running.
    1.) When I start it up and it gets warmed up, it Idles right at 2,000 RPM, before it idled around 1,000 or 1250
    2.) No problem when im actually moving forward, but when I'm in neutral and applying the brakes and above 20MPH, it revs up and down between 1,250 RPM and 2,000 RPM and goes back and fourth up and down until exactly when I hit 20 MPH, then it jumps back up to 2,000 RPM and stays there (just like when im at an idle stop). If I let off the brakes though while I'm above 20MPH and still in neutral, it stops hovering between 1250 and 2000, and stays right at 2,000 just like when its idling, but as soon as i touch the brakes and am over 20MPH it will jump up and down.
    3.) I dont know what it is and really would like to get it fixed because I plan on keeping my truck of course, its just the gas mileage has dropped to somewhere around 14-16 MPG (normally 21 or 22).

    PLEASE HELP. anyone who has had to change their fuel pump or has any idea what this problem is (electrical, fuel pump regulator etc.) or what I can do please let me know. I would GREATLY appreciate it.

    All the best

    Check you IAC with a meter make sure its in check. Iac controls your idle.

    Did you replace your fuel filter when you changed your pump?

    Might be running a little lean? :notsure: that would cause it to have a higher idle I believe.

    i recently had my fuel pump go bad and replaced... after that, it started running badly, check engine light kept coming on, so i took it to my mechanic... turned out my IAC sensor went bad too, so swapped it out and it ran good as new...
