Tacoma issues are going to make me cry

Update?

 

Threads like this drive me crazy. Comes out gunnin and then no resolution. I want to know if it was the battery dammit!

 

nah it was that he wasent using the clutch to start the truck.

 

CRANK SENSOR. Don't test it, just replace it.

 

.

 

My 2012 tacoma did the exact same thing I took it to Toyota several time and they did not know what was going on then I took it to another Toyota dealer and they kept it for three days and finally told me it was a dealer thrown engine code that would not show up on my scan tool and they cleared it with there scan tool several times and I've never had a starting problem since and they did it for free but yes I tried everything y'all are saying and it all checked out good my computer just glitches or something so i hope this helps you

 

We all got used, big time.

He joined TW, ONLY to find a solution to his truck's problem. This is the only thread he made and has posted in. I doubt he'll be a TW 'family' member.

 

His wife found the other key.

 

Worse; maybe just stirring up trouble: troll??

 

Well, the OP seems long gone .... but I had a thought - perhaps the fuel filter is getting blocked - i.e. plastic baggie floating around in tank - happened to a friend once. Took years to find.

 

we all know he simply replaced the battery and all is well

 

We're on the same page though.



I know it could be/have been something more complex. I hope it was that simple.

What aggravates me about threads like this is the fact that there have been no updates. The whole point of forums like this is to share similar experiences and to help each other out. Some poor guy down the road might find this thread and think "THIS IS EXACTLY MY PROBLEM!!!" only to read all 10 pages or whatever it is and not get an answer.

 

Exactly, you hit the name on the head!

 

We could really piss off the OP by PM'ing him. If everyone gave him a PM, we could blow up his personal email...just saying.

 

Only if he has email notifications turned on. Just saying.

 

LOL he seemed to get moody a number of times at people just trying to help him figure this out... Can't imagine what he would have to say if he got bombed with emails from PMs. I agree with everyone here though, a lot of people came and tried to help, the least he could do is come back to post the outcome once it is figured out.

 

Check the Neutral Safety switch which is part of the ignition system. If it's defective, your truck won't start. It doesn't matter if it's a manual or automatic transmission.

Good Luck,

AL

 

Looks like it's over....this is no place for the sensitive ones.
Sure had my interest piqued

 

I think OP was a Chevy Colorado owner...

 

I think he was high on ether, he sure talked about it alot.
