After smelling gas in the cabin of the truck for several months, with no apparent problems with vehicle handling and performance, the truck was taken in for it's regular service. fuel lines going into the engine on the driver's side were leaking at a coupling just before the injectors. the first half inch of the hose before the coupling was delaminated due to fuel being forced between the sheathing and the hose. toyota service center had not seen this issue before and did not know what would have caused it.
My tacoma has 17000 miles on it. here lately i've been hearing a chirping noise coming from the engine bay. it doesn't start right away so i know it's not a pulley or a belt. i don't drive the truck hard because let's face it, it's powertrain isn't the greatest and shifts like a kid learning to drive a stick. im sure the chirping noise is the high pressure fuel pump in the engine bay. for awhile thought it was normal until another tacoma pulled up and it wasn't doing the same noise at all even asked the guy if his a/c was on to make sure we had the same setting. his was also a 2017 off road tacoma
Vehicle constantly cuts out under acceleration like throttle does not communicate with engine. drives like an old car with a clogged fuel filter or a distributor with no advance.
Fuel leaking from the connections for the high pressure direct injection system. fuel was leaking down the back of the engine and onto the transmission bellhousing near the exhaust. i could smell faint odor of gas in the cabin while driving. used uv dye to identify the source of the leak. unknown how long this was occurring for, i have been smelling gas in the engine bay for weeks, toyota dealer told me the smell was 'normal' during my last service several weeks ago.
Fuel pumpmakes loud chirping noise since 10000 miles i told dealer they told me normal i want it fixed . i want a differant fuel pump i paid a lot of money for this vehicle and it makes annoying noise
Driving at 30 mph when vehicles engine tried to stall , pumping the accelerator i keep vehicle moving but ran very poorly got it home and called dealership to get appointment. this a very dangerous for if was in a intersection there could have been a accident
