Stalls when it rains

Mine still can stall in the rain. Toyota won't do the TSB to fix the TSS sensor because of the aftermarket grill and lift.

wait what??....i can see the after market grille because you have to remove your TSS sensor and put it on the new grille (even though it's just 2 damn screws)...but wtf does the lift have to do with that?...i heard some dealerships giving people shit about lifts and saying the TSS sensor isn't going to work properly with any kind of lift, then you talk to different techs at toyota and they say that's absolute bullshit, and they work fine even with a 4 inch lift

No, original windshield but does have a sunroof. I keep thinking it's the stupid TSS sensor getting wet but today in the rain it died again. So I unplugged the sensor and drove a ways further and it died again.

has this issue been resolved?!?!....My 2019 tacoma Offroad was recently in a crash and never had this problem before the accident....took it to the body shop that was under progressive, and they "fixed" my truck....a week later it started shutting off while i was cruising down the road and it would only happen in the rain (more than 9 times before i was able to take it in).....I took it back to the place that did the work on the truck, and they said they couldn't diagnose the problem and they took it to toyota and it wasn't pulling any codes (even though i told them it only happens when it rains and the 2 days they had the truck it was sunny as hell out and no rain in sight)....one of my buddy's works at that toyota and i called him after the repair shop told me to have a nice day, and he got me in touch with the service manager...Brought the truck into toyota this morning and they ran it through the car wash with me and the head tech inside the truck, and also had it running at 1,500 rpms while we hosed it completely down (even in the engine bay with the hood up), truck wouldn't shut off and replicate the problem....So now they are contacting the shop that did the repairs for the accident and are going to fish through every single part they replaced to see if it's something on their end that they didn't wire properly

P.S......the only thing that saved me a couple times while i was going 70mph on a major highway was my Taco is a manual, so when the truck would shut off, i'd be able to shift it to Neutral, turn the key to the off position, cruise for about 5 seconds with no power steering or ABS brakes, then push the clutch and start it back up while rolling at a high speed and then shift to the right gear....all i can say is, thank god it didn't happen while i was going through a turn, because it would have been a bad day for me and anyone else in a oncoming lane.

Happen in a turn? As in, the steering wheel could have locked because the key was in the off position? Someone local shut a 1st gen key off while coasting downhill to save on gas, and ended up rolling the truck because the steering wheel had locked up (not recommended)

The same thing happens to my 2010 Tacoma. Happens only in the rain or if it rained recently. Did anyone figure out the issue.
