Car stumbles/hesitates intermittently at various speeds. Have spent time/money trouble shooting the problem/making repairs with no affect on problem. Problem appears to be drive by wire throttle body toyota part # 22030-62020 (toyota data per vin shows this part should not be on my car). Toyota has a program to replace throttle body if found to be defective (for a limited time) except problem cannot be duplicated in…

The problem that exists is on my 2003 toyota tacoma. It will all of a sudden lose power and have no throttle response, almost as if it was hitting an engine governor. The rpms usually drop anywhere from 200-500 and then comes back up. The power would slowly come back after keeping my foot on the throttle. It consistently does it after accelerating out of an intersection (usually around 25 mph or while cruising…

I'm filing the compliant to acknowledge the fact that these older fly by wire throttle bodies have a faulty tps that is only replaceable as a whole new throttle body. The cost on them is between 700 to 1000 dollars. My tacoma do have a faulty tps on it. I'm waiting to save up enough money to replace the throttle body however, there have been numerous times that upon pulling out into traffic it has acted up. When…

The check engine light came on as the car decelerated. I had to depress the gas peddle to the floor to accelerate the vehicle. Took it to the dealer and they told me the choke was sticking and i needed to have an upper engine cleaning. 10000 miles later the same thing happened. Now i need a new throttle body. *tr

Toyota tacoma, 2003 acceleration drops to 25% inadvertently. This is a well documented issue on several of the toyota tacoma bulletin boards yet toyota has done nothing to remedy this highly dangerous situation. The accelerator pedal position sensor fails and drops the acceleration to 25% without warning. This happened to me while doing 75 on the highway and i was nearly rear ended by a semi truck! I have complained…

My engine light on my 2003 toyota tacoma keeps coming on. I sent $1000 to replace the oxygen sensor and then the evap connector assembly. The engine light is still on. The repair shop told me they've replaced many of these on toyotas. *tr

After driving for approximately 2 hours, on three separate occasions, the vehicle would intermittently lose significant power. It felt as though i had taken my foot off the throttle. After my own investigation, i learned that toyota has a history of this problem, particularly with their 2003/2004 model tacoma's. Evidently, their accelerator pedal position sensor (part of their throttle by wire design) fails. This…

Slow fill up at the gas pumps. The tank takes 10-12 minutes to fill. It takes the gas very slowly. Pump will keep clicking off. The pump hose has to be kept half to three-quarters out in order that the gas flow into the tank. *tr
