Tim's Taco Tales Part Two

Well, the Toyota electrical guru guy for the Southwest region came out and looked at the truck yesterday from about 2 pm to 8 pm. He found that there is a possible ground issue with the wiring harness that goes to the injectors, which seems to be causing a dip in fuel flow which triggers the CEL. New harness arrived today and is in the process of being installed. Fingers crossed this is the final fix.

 

Apparently air is getting into the fuel system somehow, so Toyota has taken my injectors and the fuel rails to test. They have no idea how this is happening. Apparently they are going to write a TSB based on my truck once they finally figure this shit out. I am unhappy that I have to be the test for that, I just want my truck back.

 

Oh, man I’m sorry. This is like living in the twilight zone.

 

Leave it in neutral at the boat ramp next time.

 

I'm gonna lose it, I got this truck because I figured a newer year would be better, and I had heard only quality of life gripes about the 3.5L, nothing major reliability wise. I can't believe that my headgasket went at 125,000 miles and sent me down this wonderful path.

 

Dude that sucks

 

Apparently one of the fuel rails has a hairline crack that was allowing air in but not fuel out. A new one is on its way, so hopefully that fixes everything
