| Loss of engine power, throttle was unresponcive, engine kept running but i had to pull over in the emergency lane. autopart store checked engine code p1121 as a throttle position sensor. i called toyota dealers to get more info... they wanted over $100 just to do the same thing that parts store did for free. they said it may not happen again, it may happen occasionaly, or it may fail. the fix might cost $1,000 or more. i bought toyota because they had a good reputation, this sounds more like a dodge dealer answers... | |||

| 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. | |||

| Driving 2000 toyota tundra in northern wyoming 1 week ago during freezing temps. engine shut down shortly after starting in the morning leaving driver with no power to maneuver in traffic. vehicle sits in traffic until idle speed will move vehicle out of way of other cars. this has happened before when vehicle sits out all night in freezing cold weather. car taken to dealer each time and we are told this happens on this v-8 engine for tundra and land cruiser mfg 1999. dealer has other vehicles in for repair at this time and says he replaces several each year. dealer says intake manifold must be replaced with corrected manifold. dealer believes the problem is in the electrical circuit attached to the manifold. cost is to be approx $1400. dealer says to take up problem with toyota corp. *nm | |||

| Dt*: the contact stated the shift lever disintegrated off the steering wheel. the vehicle was taken to the service dealer who determined they would need to replace a bracket to fix the shift lever. the vehicle was still at the dealer awaiting the repair work. the consumer stated the shifter shattered without warning and was unable to place the vehicle in gear. updated 12/18/06. *jb the consumer stated the problem with the accelerator began in summer of 2005. he started the vehicle stepped on the accelerator and nothing happened. he then depressed the accelerator pedal to the floor and the truck lunged forward. only by carefully pumping the gas pedal up and down was he able to attain approximately 40 mph. the searched the internet to see if others had experienced the problem. within in a short period of time, he found someone else who experienced the same problem. it was caused by a loose connection where the accelerator pedal position sensor wire connects to its female connector. which was located on top of the engine. the consumer looked at the connector and it seemed connected. he pushed the connector down hard and to his astonishment it clicked into place. which solved the problem. the consumer stated two years later, the same problem presented itself again. once he arrived home, he clicked the electrical connector securely in place. he used some copper electrical wire and wired the connector firmly in place. the consumer stated his best guess to the problem with the connector: was the design of the plastic was faulty. the plastic tab wasn't large enough to hold it securely in the socket and over time, road vibration caused it to come loose. also, the starter failed. updated 03/08/10 | |||
