I recently started up my tacoma (It ran fine the night before) but when i took it for a drive it started to sputter and stumble when stoped and when I tried to accelerate it bogs down than eventually goes. The CEL is on , But when I try to jump the Te1 and E1 terminals the light just stays on doesnt blink. The Diagnostics is under the hood near the battery.

The truck idles fine in Park but, once in gear it stumbles and hates me. Any idea what this may be?

Need to pull codes with a scanner..located under driver's side dash.

Couple things come to mind first with your problem..MAF is dirty..and or intake (rubber boots) are loose (between MAF and throttle body)....Maybe crank balancer is loose,messing up timing...

I have OBDII? Whats this diagnostic under the hood?

Yes, OBDII...the under hood is for... fuel pump check, abs,airbags systems,And to beable to clear certain system codes,NOT ENGINE ect.....To pull drivetrain codes,need to hook up OBDII scanner under dash..

Ooh ok, I didnt see anything under the dash (maybe im retarded, more than likely) So, I cleared the code pulling the 15amp fuse and it came back on so, clearly somthing is going on.


Would Quick Start screw up MAF sensors? it was sprayed almost directly at the thing. Not sure if it would short it out?

Check under the driver's side trim ...up above the gas pedal,center console area.

If you sprayed the MAF with anything besides MAF cleaner or brake clean...I would Take the MAF out and Clean it really well...Let dry and see if that helps...

Ok I will try that tomorrow, will update!
