#242 of 598 Failed Throttle Body - Tundra by texastundra Dec 20, 2004 (2:36 pm)
I have a 2000 (bought new) Tundra Limited with a 4.7-liter V8 . The OD shows 38.8K miles. The truck has been flawless except for several O2 sensor replacements & the recall on the hitch wiring harness.   I recently experienced problems when starting during cold weather. I had difficulty getting it to start & when it did, the accelerator did not function, only idle speed, plus the Check Engine light would come on.   The first time it happened, I was on a trip back to Texas from Colorado several weeks ago. In the morning, the temp was about 10F. After it warmed up at idle, I restarted & the accelerator worked but the Check Engine light remained illuminated. The next time I stopped for gas and restarted, the light was off. Then on 14 Dec., same problem. The service adviser at Toyota of Richardson revealed that the Throttle Body Assy was intermittently inop at startup. Since I needed the truck & couldn't afford to have the throttle fail during driving, I had to get it fixed. The service adviser said a new throttle was necessary (said it couldn't be repaired).   The total repair cost was: $1309.87 (throttle body part was $976.38) (Out of Warranty)   Anyone else have this problem?   Thanks, Tom Replies to this message: s6025t1 (Dec 26, 2004 12:57 pm) djm79 (Jan 13, 2005 11:27 am) texastony (Jan 25, 2005 8:37 pm)

Replying to: texastundra (Dec 20, 2004 2:36 pm) 2000 4x4 ext cab about 60k miles at the time. Had the same problem as you described this time last year on a trip to NY. Very cold morning and would not move off idle. Mine was replaced under warranty but the total price was much less, about 350.00 as I remember.

#244 of 598 94 Toyota Pickup Puzzle Challenge by shreditup Jan 04, 2005 (6:30 pm)
I'm having a problem with my 94 Toyota Pickups 3L Engine. In the morning when my engine is cold, it starts with little problem. When Warm, it starts first try if sitting or less than 5 minutes** However, if warm but sitting longer than 5 min. and shorter than 12 or more hours, it consistently takes two tries to start, and sometimes 3 !! even then it kind of stumbles before running smoothly. I have replaced my original fuel pump with a less expensive after market version thinking it was that, as the original pump was failing intermittently. Could it be my throttle positioning sensor? Nobody seems to know what is going on and our local Toyota Dealer/ Service seems happy to take my cash and replace parts without resolving the issue. Note: I have installed a K&N Air Filter and Conversion Kit for the filter. I'm not sure if the problem developed after the fact. but I don't think so. Please help.

#245 of 598 Re: O2 Sensors -2000 models only. [toyboy1] by tnpdad Jan 04, 2005 (6:38 pm)
Replying to: toyboy1 (Aug 31, 2004 2:19 pm) The oxygen sensor on my 2001 Tundra went bad at 41,000. Dealer wanted $252 plus labor. Called Toyota America and was told there is an "Enhanced Warranty" on O2 sensors for 7 years or 90,000 miles. Informed dealer and it was replaced for free. If you paid for O2 sensors, demand a refund because they are covered. Replies to this message: texastony (Jan 25, 2005 8:55 pm)
#246 of 598 Re: Tacoma Dash Vibration [rlafaver] by ameri929 Jan 05, 2005 (7:33 am)
Replying to: rlafaver (Dec 01, 2003 7:43 am) I have a similar problem with my 2002 Tundra Limited, 4WD. It is a rattle/squeak that seems to come from the mid-dash area near the windshield. It sounds like plastic vibrating, or plastic rubbing against plastic. Noticed it two winters ago, but it stopped. Now it is continual and seems to be more pronounced as the truck warms up (I live in the great Northwest). Or, it could be my luck that it really started to show up because I just hit 36,000 miles, which I think takes me out of warranty. Anybody else find that the fuse block was the problem? Anybody notice it as cold weather-related or related to using defrost? Anybody try to get a solution from Toyota, within or beyond the warranty period? Some other posts suggest passenger airbag area, but my noise is definitely coming from the middle of the dash, and seemingly near the windshield. This thing is getting to be like a sore tooth, impossible to ignore. Replies to this message: footpounds (Jan 05, 2005 11:17 am) baileys1 (Jun 21, 2005 4:41 pm)

Replying to: ameri929 (Jan 05, 2005 7:33 am) My '02 had the same dash rattle. There is a TSB out for this problem and mine was fixed while it was still under warranty. About a year later and not a rattle is to be heard. I doubt if they will fix yours if you are beyond the warranty. If I had to pay for my fix, I probably would have as that rattle was driving me crazy! I hated driving my truck until it was fixed. Good luck. Replies to this message: baileys1 (Jun 21, 2005 4:41 pm)

Replying to: herbie1 (Aug 30, 2004 7:53 pm) Yours is not the only one. I have now seen serveral posts on this. The complaints are very similar. What you describe is exactly what I have been experiencing for over a year. A previous post quotes a new Toyota TSB on this issue, TSB SU003-04. It is supposed to correct this. I would like to know what parts are a part of this TSB. Replies to this message: newell (Jan 16, 2005 12:07 pm) billstl (Feb 02, 2005 10:25 pm) billstl (Feb 02, 2005 10:31 pm)

Replying to: alfred (May 07, 2004 8:15 am) I was told the same thing by serveral Tundra owners and a Toyota service tech. It was time anyway so I greased all the drive shaft u-joints, spiders, and most importantly the slide yoke on the back end of the drive shaft. This one take a lot of grease. When properly greased the thunking stays gone.
#250 of 598 Tundra Trans by murphy2 Jan 11, 2005 (3:54 pm)
I have an 02 Tundra with a V-6 auto and about 37k.After it sits usually overnight or several hours when I take off it will not change out of first gear till I stop or put it in neutral then back to drive. I've changed the fluid with no luck.
#251 of 598 Re: Failed Throttle Body - Tundra [s6025t1] by djm79 Jan 13, 2005 (11:27 am)
Replying to: s6025t1 (Dec 26, 2004 12:57 pm) I've got the exact same problem. My 2000 Tundra had the same symptoms over Christmas (check engine light on; accelerator wouldn't function). Problem went away after I restarted the engine and it warmed up (I chalked the problem up to the cold weather). Yesterday the check engine light came on again. Toyota says I need a new O2 sensor (again), but it's covered under warranty. Plus, they want $1,200 to replace the throttle body. This item is specificially excluded from the extended warranty that I bought. Yesterday, the vehicle had no accelerator problems; only the check engine light was on. Is the accelerator problem just a cold weather issue? I live in Texas so don't know if I should fix it or take my chances driving it.
