Tacoma shuts off while driving. Please help.

Here is what i was reading https://forums.edmunds.com/discussi...yota-tacoma-starting-stalling-idling-problems

 

If you can't figure it out you could always take it to Toyota, they can hook it up and look for more codes there

 

Toyota is my last resort but if it come down to it i gotta do what i gotta do.

 

How many miles does your truck have on it by the way?

 

OP - do you have any more detail of when or the conditions the truck does this? I know for crankcase position sensors it's usually after driving the vehicle for some time in hot weather.

 

@eccracer104 do you have any ideas?

 

Ive been on a lot of dirrerent searches for this specific problem. Everyone has a crank but no start or the car starts to sputter then shuts off. Im lost right now. I even tried different keys bc i thought the chip was going bad in my master key.

 

Juat recently it happened within 5 minutes of driving if that helps.

 

Have you considered you may have killed your battery trying to start it because of the issue? Was it cranking before? My aunt had a similar problem, try taking out the drop in air filter and leave the hood up with it out. Try starting it, if it starts it could be a fuel pump problem

Edit: if you need to jump the car

 

No i replaced the battery after the first few times it happened months ago. After it started happening again i tested the battery and alt. Both are fine.

 

You re right to clean the TB. Trying moving the ign key forward through it's spots slowly while jiggling. If the ign switch is developing a bad spot the dash lights might blink on and off quickly.

 

Seriously, try opening taking out your air filter and starting the truck. Leave the latch open, see if it starts. If it does there's a good chance it could be a fuel pump problem. If not that indicates it might not be, little hack lol

 

Wouldnt a failing pump cause it to sputter and would also try to crank?

 

You don't have a fuel pump problem

 

I know there is a pump safety switch but i wasnt sure if that would cause this.

 

Did you say if it would no crank?

 

When it won't start does it crank and not start or does it not even crank?

 

No crank. Sometimes starts right up. Sometimes no click or anything that i can tell

 

Its almost like its a theft security issue or aomething
