    Hello,

    Just bought a used 2005 Tacoma X Runner yesterday. I already got a CEL for some codes today so I have already been reading through old TacomaWorld threads and thought I'd sign up as well.

    Looking forward to learning more about the truck and hopefully having a better ownership experience!

    I don't really want to sell it, but I also don't fit in it, and the '05 has presented me with a nice CEL so it may be taking more of my money soon!

    Uh I was just a few years old in the '90s so the reference went over my head. Does that mean this place is active or a ghost town? :p

    I think I have some CRC MAF cleaner somewhere. I'll give that a try first. Thanks!

    LOL, yeah. It's active man. A few thousand people are logged in here most all the time. Hell, I have not owned a Tacoma in years yet I am still around. Do yourself a favor and type Richard Simmons infomercial into the ol google machine sometime.
