New member with Taco issues

Hello everyone. I am new to posting so please go easy on me if I break any posting rules. Tell me and I will not do it again. I am excited to be able to talk with other Tacoma owners. It is my first truck ever and only had it about 4 months. Love my truck but have check engine issues. Taken it to couple places who could not figure out what exactly was wrong. Decided if I want something done right I should probably do it myself. So here I am...

Welcome!

 

Welcome to TW
Try the secondary air pump... it's a common issue on the 12's

 

Welcome! Do you know what code numbers the ECU is throwing?

 

Welcome to TW! Do you have a code scanner?

 

Welcome to TW!

Definately need more info to help you though. As asked before, do you have (or have access to) a code scanner?

They can be had for relatively cheap... this one is only 20 bucks

Or, some of us use a bluetooth plug in (plugs in to your OBDII port (under your dash) and then you can get real time info on an app (Torque Pro) on your phone.

This is the Bluetooth OBDII reader I use.

The Bluetooth + Torque Pro allows you to monitor a lot of things on your phone... this is less than 10% of what you can watch (along with reading check engine codes)
