Tacoma issues are going to make me cry

So... Did you finally try another key after 3 hours of people on the edges of their seats?

 

CPS.

 

OP is MIA.

 

Next time my truck won't start, I'll just start replacing parts, front to back, starting with the fuel pump, maybe in a couple months, I'll get to to the key.

 

He's probably off crying somewhere.

 

He's gonna leave us all hangin isn't he

 

I hope not. These things are good to know.
It is stuff like this that goes wrong for me.
I try all the other fixes. Fix stuff that's not broke. Finally after hours or days I
stumble across the the problem. Usually something simple.

 

I beleive base models don't my 2014 base has just a regular stamped key

 

Is your truck the 4.0?
I've never seen a stamped 4.0 key.
Not saying they don't make them
But I have never seen one.

I am going with the key being the issue.

 

Some are saying that the base models don't have a chip, here's how you can tell.
Edit: it apparently may also have a "G" on it instead of a dimple.

 

No 2.7L

Hope you fix the problem OP

 

curious for op to chime in, good luck.

No. This information is wrong. All Tacoma's do not have chips. My 2012 SR5 Prerunner doesn't have a chipped key / immobilizer.

Just to get the facts straight.

 

not intentionally leaving you guys hanging got to work early ill update asap i don't thinmk the key is the issue but i have my wife looking for a spare as we speak

 

Did you determine if your truck has an immobilizer?

 

I have a 2013 2.7 reg cab. My key has neither a "G", dimple, or any indication of a chip.

 

JimmyH, you don't have an immobilizer? On your dash next to your clock there's no red alarm indicator? That seems odd to me that a 2012 wouldn't have it.
