Tundra

  • 87,000 miles
I have a 2000 Toyota Tundra and it has a problem that when the car gets hot the engine will stall out and die without warning. It creates no omd II errors and the check engine light never appears. The ECM fuse blows on occasion but replacing it does not lead to a running vehicle. It fails to start until the engine compartment cools down. There is fire from the spark plugs and there is fuel pressure in the fuel rail. We have replaced all the relays and fuses in the ECM and EFI circuits and all fingers are now pointing to the ECM controller itself. We just changed out the fuel pump and are looking at replacement of all the ignition coils (8) and all the fuel injectors (8). But since all of these components seam to be working that would make little since. The recent recall for the ECM on the matrix & corolla indicate that there may have been problems with the manufacture of ECM units for a much longer period of time since my Tundra is exhibiting the same problem. This problem has been getting worse for over 5 years now and the Toyota dealers and other Toyota specialty shops cannot find the problem since there are no engine codes and the fact that it will start and run fine after it cools down. I have been waiting for it to die and not start at all to hope to find the problem.

It was determined that all 4 oxygen sensors needed to be replaced. The consumer found that there was an extended warranty, but was told that the problem wasn't bad enough for a total recall. Recall campaign: Recall number: 99V347003. The towing packet light kit had blown out and was replaced. The consumer stated that the engine light has been on since purchase of the vehicle. Vehicle stalled while being driven by the consumer. When started again the check engine light appeared. After having the vehicle checked again it registered a code of P0505/possible idle control system.
