#2054 of 2067 Re: Starting probem when hot [seaweedsteve] by mammyrat Oct 04, 2006 (7:34 pm)
Replying to: seaweedsteve (Aug 27, 2005 6:00 pm) I had the same problem with my 96 2.4 tacoma. It was worse in the summer, started and ran fine in the winter, no codes. I unplugged the air intake temperature sensor (sensor in the side of the air filter) and no more problems. I went to get a new one but toyota wants $70.00. I told them to keep it. It pulls a code now but runs great.
#2055 of 2067 05 -06 tacoma dip sticks by Oct 12, 2006 (2:34 pm)
Is it me or is the V-6 tacoma dip sticks hard to read. I check the oil on a regular bassis and have a hard time getting an accurate oil reading. I even thought the dealer over filled my oil, took it back, they showed the level as being right on. Went home checked it again. Looked to full or couldnt read it???

#2056 of 2067 Clunk feeling after stopping. by bgrove Oct 12, 2006 (2:50 pm)
I had requested some help earlier about this unusual feeling after stopping in my 2003 Double Cab Tacoma. My truck felt like it hopped after releasing the brake at an intersection light. I finally had to take it in to the dealer for a recall and I mentioned this to them so that they could check it. What I found out is that there's a grease zert on the very back of the drive line past the tranny. I had it filled with grease and it cured the problem for about a month. I'm now starting to feel it again, and I'll have to get under there and re-fill it. Other posters have mentioned this before and this is just to reinforce this issue.

Replying to: unknown (Oct 12, 2006 2:34 pm) Mine is '06 Taco with 2.7 engine but I have the same problem in reading oil level on the stick. A streak of oil always exists at one side of the stick well above the right amount range when I pull out the stick. When I put the right amount of oil according to the manual, the dipstick looks like overfilled. By the way, did you know that my smaller 2.7 engine takes more oil(6.1qt) than your V6(4.8qt)? I originally thought that was a typo but it was not. When I poured 4.8qt of oil the dip stick end was barely touching the oil. Although it's still hard to read the level on the stick, 5.5-5.7qts of oil seems to be the right amount for my truck. Replies to this message: marcusx (Oct 27, 2006 5:01 pm)

Replying to: woof (Aug 14, 2006 4:48 am) I own an 06 4x4 dc lb taco with auto transmission and have noticed the same issues you have discussed here. It seem like it doesn't know what gear to use because it keeps on shifting gears when your driving. Before I bought this truck I test drove a prerunner and did not feel anything like it. I wonder if toyota has a fix for this. Replies to this message: nifty56 (Nov 11, 2006 7:46 am)

Replying to: bgrove (Oct 12, 2006 2:50 pm) hey there check my comment # 2003 here. It's a slip joint causing the problem, easy fix, just keep greasing
#2061 of 2067 Re: Vehicle Jerking Problems [stunt] by cmerrill5 Nov 10, 2006 (6:43 pm)
Replying to: stunt (Nov 01, 2005 10:28 am) My '97 Tacoma (only 56k) has been having the same jerking problems that you have described. I bought the truck in June, and has been fine until this happened. The jerking coincided with the check engine light coming on, and when i got the diagnostic, the code indicated to replace the facuum switching valve. They cleaned the EGR valve vacuum systm and replaced one of the valves. The next day out of the shop, the check engine light came back on and the jerking continues, so they seem to possibly be unrelated. Any ideas? stunt have you gotten any helpful hints on your jerking issue?

Replying to: cpl1171 (Oct 26, 2006 11:01 pm) The new 2007 Camry 6 speed automatic seems to have a shifting problem. Too many gears, always hunting. Check out the "Camry wooes" here at Edmunds
#2063 of 2067 AC and Heating System by jeff_smith Nov 15, 2006 (8:27 pm)
I just got my new 2007 Tacoma Crew Cab and have the following problem: I choose cold air (without AC), but the air I get into the car is always warm - even if its cold outside. I really dont want to use always my AC System to get fresh air into my car. Does anybody know a solution for this problem or experienced the same?
