#546 of 598 Re: difficult starting [up4miles] by billingsley Jun 24, 2006 (5:56 am)
Replying to: up4miles (May 19, 2006 6:44 pm) It is possible that as the engine space heats up, the starter body will expand. If this happens, the contacts won't connect. As the starter cools down, it will again make contact. I remember this happening on GM's back in the 60's. Solution? A new starter? Somehow insulating the starter with some kind of a blanket?   Just some thoughts.
#547 of 598 Re: 2006 Tacoma loud tapping noise from engine [toyo671] by greggonzales Jun 26, 2006 (12:04 pm)
Replying to: toyo671 (Jun 24, 2006 2:23 am) I have the same problem. Took it to a dealer. They guessed it was the valve adjustment. Sounds to me lie an injector or the old style lifters. Toyota told me the engine doesn't have "lifters" in the traditional sense. Anyway, to make a long story short, they douldn't find anything out of Toyota specs.   The problem is getting worse, and it makes me feel uneasy. I plan to contact Toyota directly, to see if they have any feeback.

Replying to: toyo671 (Jun 24, 2006 2:23 am) Mine has the same noise although it's a 4cyl model(2006)with 3500 miles on it. I hear the noise constantly as long as my foot is on the gas pedal. Toyota told me 3 months ago that a fuel-line bracket was causing the noise but never heard from them again as to when the newly designed one is available. But when I checked with my local dealer, they told me that this does not apply to the 4cyl models. So, maybe it applies to the 6cyl model like yours.
#549 of 598 What should I do? by iqbaldhillon2 Jun 26, 2006 (8:43 pm)
I have a 2005 Toyota Tacoma and it has only 30,000 miles, but I just bought a new business so my friend says I'll need a bigger truck but I don't want a bigger truck. So he says a campper will do the trick. But the campper will make the truck look odd. Is there another way? Please reply back! Replies to this message: pb2themax (Jun 26, 2006 9:38 pm)

Replying to: iqbaldhillon2 (Jun 26, 2006 8:43 pm) How does a camper shell make the truck look odd? There are plenty of Tacomas with shells, and they look awesome. Check here. http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/t98844.html

Replying to: doglover7 (Oct 11, 2005 11:13 am) I have a 2005 Double Cab that I bought brand new, It has 37,584 miles on it now. It has also a belt and tensioner problem, or so the dealership tells me. Would you happen to know if that is covered by an extended warranty? Replies to this message: wjfoss (Oct 07, 2006 6:14 am)

Replying to: duncanld (Jun 03, 2002 6:50 am) I've had similar problems w/my truck but mine is an 05 Tundra. The slightest pebble will make it crack and run...mine has been fixed 3times in 6 months. The dealer that replaced the windshield said that they are made very cheap and thin. I can't say I disagree.
#553 of 598 Downshifting on minimal inclines by sylvia11841 Jul 24, 2006 (5:06 pm)
We have a 2005 Toyota Tundra V8 SR5 Access Cab and on a recent trip to Northwest Georgia, driving on Interstate 75 we noticed when approaching a minimal upgrade the vehicle downshifted from overdrive to 3rd gear and sometimes second gear. It completely bypasses fourth gear and by doing so causes the vehicle to accelerate accompanied by a loud engine noise. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? We were told by our delearship the problem cannot be fixed. Replies to this message: tundra2411 (Sep 27, 2006 11:55 am)
#554 of 598 Re: 2005 toyota tacoma prerunner-ignition problem [ekartanowicz] by dbiggs Aug 01, 2006 (7:10 am)
Replying to: ekartanowicz (Jul 04, 2005 12:17 pm) I am having the same issues with my 1999 Toyota Tacoma SR5, 5 speed manual. First time, will not crank, then on second try it will. What was the outcome to your prerunner "ekartanowicz"? Any info is much appreciated!!   Also, yesterday, it did turn over on the first time but it felt like the starter would not stop cranking. The engine was running fine but there was a whinning noise. I turned the truck off, took the key out, and it was still trying to turn over. The truck began to shake. After about 10 seconds of this, it stopped, I restarted and eveyrthing has been fine since....
#555 of 598 Check Engine Light by 2001tacoma4x4 Aug 25, 2006 (6:39 pm)
I have a 2001 Tacoma double cab 4X4. I'm the original owner and have done all the scheduled maintenances.   A couple weeks ago the check engine light came "ON" I was low on gas, so I was thinking maybe the pressure was low and filled the tank. I did some research on the web and read that sometimes a computer needed to be reset...so I pulled the EFI fuse and put it back...BTW what's the EFI?...the check engine light turned "OFF" after I started driving. A week later, I went on a business trip and left my car idle in a parking garage. And today the check engine light came back "ON"   Any ideas?
