| Description of the problem | Cold start of vehicle, very large noise, lasted about 1 minute. Only does this when cold start. If vehicle has been driven no sound. Research indicate, that other problems noted on the internet were the air injection pump, and switching values, has foam that has deteriorated and fell down on the dc motor and burned the motor out. Seems the manufacture knows of the problem but has only certain model years they are covering. Same part in all years but not covering 2005 which is the model year of my truck. If same part is on different model years they should cover all model years that have this part as it seems this is a very expensive repair. This is a requirement to utilized to improve cold-start emissions, which is mandated requirement. Toyota's customers have a customer support program to extend the warranty should be with all model years that have this part. I have as of yesterday taken my truck to the dealership as i am pretty sure this is the problem. Diagnosis should be forth coming. Many complaints on internet for this same model year and problem. |
