    P0430 code...2006 V6

    Updates.... Well, I rest the codes and continued to drive it. Then the check engine light went off on its own after 360 miles, right after I walked out of the muffle shop and ordered the new CAT. I had them replace it anyways. Doing the temp check and pressure checks showed it to be dying. Truck...

    P0430 code...2006 V6

    Well.....after replacing both sensors on the down stream side of the CATS, things seemed fine for the last 260 miles. Then out of know where it threw the code 430 code again. Guess the only thing left is to replace the CAT.

    P0430 code...2006 V6

    Anyone have issues with this code? Coming up as the O2 sensor to the rear of the cat, or the cat itself. Runs fine when the light comes on, no operational issues. Have read about all kinds of tricks (paint thinner in the fuel, Sea Foam in the cat tube, anti-foul tubes to bolt the sensor into). I...

    P0118 code...2006 V6 Tacoma

    The problem was found to be both wires for the sensor had been cut and badly spliced sometime ago. To get to the sensor, you have to take the entire upper intake off, remove the pass side fuel rail input line, remove the coolant hoses that go to the throttle body, and lots of pesky wiring clamps...

    P0118 code...2006 V6 Tacoma

    Sooooo. Digging deeper, the code throws the vehicle into a "Fail Safe" mode and limits a lot of engine functions, things like fuel. A few sites said this was a common problem after 125,000 and if your coolant if rusty. This is why I couldnt get it to start. Went out later that evening, and it...

    P0118 code...2006 V6 Tacoma

    Running into the above code. Says its the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (ECT). Got in the Tacoma today and tried to start it after it had sat for 3 weeks. Didnt start after a lot of cranking. Had to shoot some starter juice into the airbox. It did a bit of chugging before it stabilized...

    Degree/cumpass display

    I did pulled out my display today, both my 510 units were about ready to fall off. The resolder job worked. Be careful , those 510 units are tiny. I had one of mine come off, placed some “glue stick” stuff on the end of a pencil to give me something to hold onto it with. Good luck. Plenty of...

    E diff lock troubles

    Well, figured it out today. The previous removed the control unit and rewired 2 relays into the system. The actuator works just fine in 2 wheel drive, 4 high, and 4 Lo, just no dash light. Interesting bit of work. Thanks for the help.

    E diff lock troubles

    Yup, it’s an off-road TRD. It’s in 4x4 low. I have heard rumors of an ECU for the Diff Locker. Any ideas on that?

    E diff lock troubles

    Yup, you would think it should, but it doesn’t. I can’t even tell where to look on the panel. The 4x4 and LO lights come on just fine.
