What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Clean filter. Clean maf. Check plugs.

 

Filter's good. Gonna have to run to the store and get some MAF cleaner. Never done it though. Plugs just replaced


My CEL is on for the MAF I believe

 

Have you ever cleaned your throttle body?

 

I haven't. Truck has 78k on it. I think I should take a look at that too. Is it hard to get to?

 

Well then ya could just be dirty. My maf actually malfunctioned and the truck was very sluggish. You still out west?

 

I'm also comparing MPGs to sea level and 3,200 ft. That could be a factor, but I drive like an old man

 

Yeah man out again for school.

 

I know on the v6 the tb is only held on by four bolts very easy removal just don't mess up the metal gasket. You have the 2.7 though don't you?

 

It's very easy and straight forward to remove it and clean it properly.

As for the metal gasket, for $2.50 buy a new one and replace it.

sorry double post

 

I know. We were all pretty liquored up so I wasn't mad at the time. It does look a lot better haha. And the reception actually comes in just fine...Any recommendations on a new stubby antenna if I decide to replace it? Preferably one that is balistic proof...

 

found another quarter sized dent in my tailgate today.... I hate living on the golf course!! to hit my truck them golfers have horrible aim!

 

I'm new to the forum just though i would show everyone my truck

 

Welcome! Truck looks good

 

Got my Little military truck box yesterday... just needs a lot of TLC and rhino lining it black

 

thanks

 

Pulled my boat from oregon and got 19 mpg, id clean out your maf and tb. Have you ever seafoamed it?

 

I get 18-19.5 without towing. Lately I've been towing 100% of the time at 3,200 ft. That's compared to no towing at sea level. I understand the loss of power and mpgs, but I didn't think it'd be that drastic... That's the worst gas mileage I've ever gotten.

 

I get 14-15mpg towing a very heavy snowmachine trailer with a 14foot cataraft + enough firewood and gear in the bed for a weekend of camping/fishing. 14mpg sounds about right if you're towing a lot.
