#1970 of 2067 95 Tacoma excessive noise when turning by dukedondonny May 15, 2006 (6:56 pm)
When I make a right hand turn, there is a sound that sounds like a seal or sealion. Any ideas what it could be?
#1971 of 2067 headlights stay on by spicytaco May 16, 2006 (10:03 am)
My headlights don't turn off. They turned off when I dettached the battery, stayed off when I reattached the battery. Then I turned the lights on and they wouldn't turn off.   It's just the lights that point straight forward, not the front lights that you can see from the side.   This is a new problem. It's rainy, I wonder if water is shorting somewhere.   We've had problems starting the truck for awhile, and wondered if there was a power drain somewhere (we replaced the battery and alternator, which we thought fixed that problem).
#1972 of 2067 2000 3.4L Timing Belt Change - Starting Problems by huladick May 16, 2006 (4:15 pm)
I recently had my timing belt changed by a local shop. Since the change, on occasion, the truck turns over very slow when cold. Similar to what an engine would do if the distributor was misaligned. Sometimes it turns over and starts normal.    It runs great and doesn't seem to do this when warmed up. I have cleaned the battery terminals and replaced the battery. Still happens only on occasion.    The shop said the three timing marks are aligned and probably isn't a belt change problem.    I have owned this truck for over 5 years and it never did this until the belt was changed. Is there anything else I should check ? Replies to this message: ustazzaf (May 17, 2006 6:08 pm)

#1974 of 2067 2002 Tacoma Minor vibration. Idle adjustment? by octacomaoc May 17, 2006 (4:15 pm)
I have a 2002 Tacoma V6 Doublecab. Recently I have noticed a problem with the idle while in drive. One day I came to a red light and stalled when I stopped. That hasn't happened since but I am getting a strange vibration, like it's about to stall, that leads me to believe the idle is too low. If I switch to neutral the idle picks up and the vibration goes away. It's almost like it's choking out on me. I've replaced the spark plugs and wires, air filter and cleaned out the air intake to no avail.   Has anybody else experience this? If so, how do I fix it?   Is there an easy way to adjust the idle? If I step on the brake and give it a little gas the vibration goes away. I am currently idling at about 600rpm in drive, 750 in neutral. If I bring the RMPs up to 750 in drive the choking goes away.   Could it be that simple?   Thanks M

Is there anything else I should check ?   Sounds to me like they removed the ground wire (or hot wire) from the frame/engine to facilitate the belt change and failed to reinstall it or installed it loose/with corrosion. Sounds just like a loose connection that occasionally connects good. Had my truck in to the local repair shop many times for the same problem. I also replaced the battery. Finally a more experienced machanic walked up, heard the symptoms, and said I had a loose connection. Found the connection at the selenoid loose and never had another problem.

Replying to: two34 (May 17, 2006 8:05 am) There is a hard starting problem with V6 tacos and Toyota sent out 2 Technical Service Bulletins that only covered 2003-2004 years I had both done to my 04,they put on a heavier gauge negitive battery wire with more ground leads to engine block this seemed to make the starting worse and took it back for TSB #2 remove gas tank and put an extension on the end of the fuel line that sucks gas out of the tank this procedure is called Remove and Replace fuel suction assembly and cured it completely not one hard start since,this problem seems to go back to previous Tacomas that WERENT covered by these TSBs,I ran into a guy with a 2002 Taco Quad and he was experiencing this problem for 80,000miles he thought it was bad battery or starter problem until I enlightened him but his truck was not covered by TSBs from Toyota.I would try the generic approach check the basics fuel filter,plugs,o2 sensor,battery grounds,if you have K&N filter clean MAF sensor also. Check out these websites for more insight TTORA.com,CustomTacos.com,yotatech.com,parksoffroad.com,Toyotanation.com,Tundras- olutions.com, do a search for hard starting or starting problems maybe you can get a definetive idea whats going on. Good luck.
#1977 of 2067 06 Tacoma Cruise Control by jaysnn May 24, 2006 (6:46 pm)
I just bought an 06 Tacoma PreRunner SRS. I was planning on putting cruise control on it, but when I took it up to the dealership today the service guy said that there was a wire left over (basically saying he didn't know where to put it) and the factory set up wouldn't work. He said I would have to find an after market cruise control. I was wondering if anyone else has ran into this. Maybe it can be done??? Please let me know if its possible. I'd like to keep everything as factory as I can. Thanks in advance.
