Problem for Toyota 2002 Tundra

2002 Toyota Tundra Stalls




By ajdevill on Dec 31, 2008

" "
Truck was running fine until a door was left open and dome light drained the battery. Jump started truck but it was running very rough and kept stalling. I replaced fuel filter and truck seemed to run fine. Next day same problem, rough starting, won't idle, and stalls. I checked pcv for vacuum and it seems to be fine. No check engine light, no battery light, and volt meter gauge working fine. Help!
Thanks,
Al D.

The throttle body needs cleaning. It has some carbon build up, and when the battery went dead the computer lost its learned values, one of which is base throttle position. Now its reset back to factory specs, not accounting for a dirty throttle body. Seen it a million times

Disconnect the battery and leave disconnected for a while before reconnecting. This will clear the computer values. Jump starting is bad for any vehicle. My 02 with 100k idles really smooth after replacing the battery recently, it was rough before disconnecting the battery. The computer is suppose to have learn mode so drive it for a while.
