Drowned my Tacoma help

Already stated that the water was cranked from the cylinders, after spark plug removal.

 

@Maricich_d , you mentioned that you replace the fuel pump? Is this correct?

Ignition powers the relay. You can disconnect a fuel hose, pull the relay and jump out the contacts to make sure fuel is flowing. So that at least the continuity of the pump and its functions are ruled out.

Quick disconnect line under the truck, right by the tank.

Then as you stated before it would be tracing where back to where the voltage is.

When you put the key in the ignition, and turn it to the "On" position, does the Check engine light illuminate? If so that means that you have power to your ecu and it is on some level communicating .

 

you, Sir, have won the internet for the day

 

I have very little useful to add other than perhaps the obvious observation that there are two EFI fuses, one before the relay and one after the relay. So when you say there is no power at the EFI fuse maybe you are only looking at the second one after the relay and it is the one before the relay that is blown? This dual fuse setup exists on a lot of circuits so it can be very confusing without consulting the wiring diagram.

Other than that glad you are at least safe, fast moving water in the dark is nothing to sneeze at! Oh and also kudos for being such a good sport with good humor sharing your unfortunate if amusing to others story!

 

Very entertaining thread.

To the OP, good on you for taking it in stride.

Does insurance cover something like this or are you SOL?

 

Pretty sure insurance totaled the truck and paid the claim. so he isn't SOL.

 

At the hotsprings on the East Fork of the Carson? There’s been at least a few Tacos and many others taking a swim there.

Sub.

As in Submarine, not that I am subscribing to the thread.

 

Thanks for the support! Gotta laugh at it now that it's over! When I turn the key to the on position the check engine light comes on for a bit then disappears like normal.

Super glad everyone was alright. Was lucky I got it to face upstream so it didn't roll.

Going to check all the fuses again and potentially through a new fuse box at it. If that doesn't work then I'm assuming I just have to accept it's the ECU. I found a set of refurbished ones for about 400 bucks. Says they are already flashed and they send you an obdII reader to reprogram interrupter. Is that a legit deal or a bad idea?

 

Engine is cranking but no start. Sounds like a normal engine. Fuel pump just isn't coming on. I should add the I sprayed alittle starter fluid in the intake and it fired and started for a short amount of time.

 

Already tried jumping the fuel pump relay and nothing. I don't have any power at the relay at all (checked with test light and voltmeter, in on position and while cranking). Check engine light does come on when key is in "on" position. Stays solid for about 5 seconds, then flashes 3-4 times, then turns off.

 

Yup, tried jumping the relay and the pump didn't come on.

 

Probably should have had a snorkel.
