First tell us what codes you have stored in the ECU. If your check engine light is on this should be the first thing you do.

 

When did this stat happening?

 

i dont know how to check for codes, how do you?

and my engine got really hot one day and has been doing it ever since

 

I'm watching this one.

 

Search will tell you how to check for codes, I know how it is on regular Toyota OBDI vehicles, but I don't own a Toyota truck.. You need to put a wire between the terminals te1 and e1 in the check connecter under the hood and put the key in the on position. The check engine light will flash etc. Search is your friend.

 

You know this is a Toyota truck forum, right?
