Intro New Member Rikk Buijs

Hello all,

I'm Rikk, a Canadian on Vancouver Island. I recently purchased a 2009 Toyota Tacoma with 230,000km. This is my first Toyota but not my first truck, I've had many trucks in the past so I hope to see if this one lives up to the name. Driving it home from the dealership the truck drives nice but pulls a little to the left. I think the previous owner did a small lift to the truck. It's standard, 4 cylinder, grey with the extended cab.

It came with a PO456 fault. As far as I can tell, I haven't actually used a code reader but that's what the indicators look to say with anti slip and CEL on together.

So far I did manage to clear the code by disconnecting the battery, I also had to calibrate the idle but it did clear for a day until they returned. I far as I can tell I need to check my gas cap which looks good ad check a vacuum valve next by disconnecting the power to it and checking for suction.

I get pretty good millage but I'd like to see if I can get it any better than it currently is, about 600km per tank.

Any suggestions on how to track down the air leak, as I think that's what is causing the issue at the moment, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rikk
