So, I put my 2000 Tacoma, automatic, 4 cylinder in the shop to have the fuel pump replaced. They replaced it, now it is back in the shop...to have the fuel pump re-replaced...which they did...but it was still dying after a bit of driving. So, they said they were 100% sure it was the Relay for the fuel pump, which they say isn't called a Relay it is called a Circuit Opening Relay and they had a hard time even finding a dealer that had one. But they did...and it is STILL doing the same thing. Bogging down after a while.
Initially, I thought it was the ignition switch, only because I was having a severe problem getting the key to turn. WD 40 worked for a while. Then I changed keys and had no other problems...but it started dying after I had the severe problem with the key. So...I figured it was a bad ignition switch. They are telling me there is nothing wrong with the ignition switch. They have had it in the shop now for 3 days. I think I am just going to have them tow it to the Toyota dealership in Sherman.
But I wanted to ask if anyone here has ever experienced that problem.
Thanks,
Dan
