Description of the problem | Over the last ++18 months, when ac is on, the truck idle will idle at about 1500-1800rpm. After having mechanic do a couple throttle body cleaning it did come down below 1000-1200rpm. For the last 5 months, when shifting (either up or down) between 4th & 5th gear, the engine surge to 3200-3600 rpm as soon as clutch is depressed + accelerator is released. In 2011 when the dealer did recall # 09v388000, the engine surging issue was not that as severe as it is today. In last 3 months, beside engine revving up , i started getting engine error codes. 07/12/2017 took my tacoma truck to dealer for available recalls: 12v092: air bag spiral cable 13v337: seat belts 14v604: rear leaf springs; these broke in january 2013 & i replaced both sides with skyjackers tcr515s (4leafs) and i have no intention to replace them. I think that in early 2011, the dealer did recall 09v388000 but this dealer could not find any reference to it so they would not address that issue; but he would want to open engine to check that timing chain is not defective/ off which he claimed is the cause of the surging between 4th/5th gear. This diagnostic would be at my cost. I refuse because i disagree with this logic, i do not have lost of power but only engine revving up like crazy and high iddle when clutch is depressed |
