Tacoma running lean with TRD cold air intake fix

Have you ever had the lean code since?

I was looking at the setup and I figure instead of cutting the end piece off, its possible to move the entire plastic assembly up to where it would be if the end was removed.

let me know your thoughts on this

 

I'd like to know this as well. I've had a few lean codes pop up and sure enough my CAI tube was too long, it was blocking the crankase vent and the fpr line. I just cut the tube off. I'm hoping this fixes it.

 

This didn't work for my 2nd gen intake. Whipper showed this to me awhile back, the tube on mine doesn't block any holes at all like in your video so there is nothing to modify.

I don't get lean codes on my 2011, I get P0101 MAF performance out of range. I've tired everything I can think of to fix this, still no go. Ordered a 1st gen to see if that fixes my issue.

 

I think it mostly applies to s/c'd tacos. Mine was definitely blocked, and I am s/c'd. never got a lean code until i put the s/c on either.

 

This seems to have fixed my lean codes. I haven't had one since, and I'm quite confident I would have had one by now.

 

Depends. My code would come on within 5 miles or 100 miles, it was never consistent.. I went weeks with no code, reset the ecu and would get a code with in a min. But hope it works for you!

Edit, sorry I missed your post before saying that you are S/C'd.

 

I agree with Vassily28, in open loop the FRP is controlling the fuel flow back to the tank.
If the small hose going to the FPR is blocked it creates a lean condition. The FPR is called an Atmospheric modulated pressure regulator. I rather have a constant or adjustable FPR.

I can believe this is the problem or is part of the lean problem.
I have plugged this tube going to the fpr, but the only this is that i have a stock intake and its not popping the SES code.

 

You don't. Some other engine manufacturers do, but my toyota 4.0 does not. I don't see why the other engines in the Tacoma would, either.

Me either. You aren't changing the A/F ratio at all. TRD calls it a "cold air intake", but really you're just changing it out for a system with less baffles and restrictions in it. The TRD system's intake point is just inside the fender, just as the stock system does. You don't really even get a filter that flows any better than a regular paper filter in regular use, and the stock secondary filter/baffle system is downstream of the MAF in the OEM system, anyway.

Just get it. I got mine off eBay new, about $450. No complaints at all. Had it for about 4,500 miles now. It's just a bolt-in mod. You will like the improved throttle response whether or not you get the supercharger.

 

All good things here. If you really are running lean, do you have a fuel system fault? Or if we're keeping things simple, did you double check to make sure your installation was correct? Maybe you have a coupling not tight enough? A coupler not seated on in a spot you can't see easily?

 

Hi guys just wondering if any one knows if TRD do kit and flash for 1GR-FE . Iam in Australia and have Hilux we want to supercharge . Thanks in advance

 

The problem is you can't block the small tube that comes from the FPR, it works off the atmospheric pressure within the intake system. During open loop which is wide open throttle, the FPR which is a valve system run off of atmospheric pressure closes to keep fuel on the fuel rail, so the engine don't lean out.

So when you don't have the gas pedal mashed and the engine goes back in to closed loop the FPR valve opens and allows fuel to go back to gas tank.

 

So if I have no supercharger, and a stock engine and I put this intake on would it run lean? and is it loud and would it ruin my engine?

 

So it doesn't add noise? everyone says it will? im talking about cab noise.(I think). So this IS a SAFE install with no harm?

 

it will add noise under full throttle. Safe to run, even with S/C's we put one on and had no issues.

 

then what is the whole deal about it?

 

It's a performance mod.

 

but why does everyone say it'll run lean?

 

It runs lean on the S/C'd Tacoma's. The first Gen is a better design, I ended up stick with that. My buddy has a S/C taco, no lean issues with his build at all.

The ONLY reason it threw codes on my truck is the dipshits at the dealer took off the MAF for some reason, didn't put the gasket back on and I never saw it until I bought a 1gen intake and installed it.

 

Easy install for me and my dad?

 

okay, this is a question I need to ask, because hes probably gunna just point and tell me, is there any thing that can go wrong that I need to look out for? (I tend to get to excited towards the end of things)
