2001 Toyota Tundra stalling when idle?
I have a 2001 Toyota tundra and about 6 months ago the truck started killing when I would come to a stop. It only did it sometimes so I lived with it for a while. Yesterday it got REAL bad. Now when I start the engine the truck will idle...maybe....but when I put it in gear to go it kills. The only way to make it go is to give it a lot of gas then put it in gear then it peels out.Once I start going every thing is fine until I come to a stop then it dies again then I repeat the process all over. start...lots of gas,then put in gear, peel out,go. When I have to go in reverse it kills, so I have to give it lots of gas and peels out in reverse, then I put the brake on,then the truck dies.What could be causing this? This cannot be good for the truck,or me....Im gonna get a ticket!Let me know what you think it is. Hope its an easy fix I can do myself. Thanks.

time for a new truck......I have a 2000 Ford F-150 With 218k miles on it, it still runs like new, I never had any trouble with that truck, Cars last forever if u take good care of them, I still have an 1986 Taurus LX with 296k miles on it, the only thing that had problems was the transmission and some hoses at around 165k back in 1997 and that is my weekend and my long trip car. I'm never getting rid of that car until it crashes and theres nothing i can do

Hi! Unfortunately I have seen this before. Integrated into your throttle body is an idle air control motor which regulates your idle. Sometimes you can smack it with a small hammer (lightly) and it will become unstuck, but it sounds like yours is just flat out going bad. They retail at the dealership for around $700 where I live, maybe try to get a used one. The only other thing you might want to try is to clean your throttle body. There is a 10mm head screw clamp on the boot to the body. Loosen that, remove the hose, stick something in towards the throttle plate to keep it open, and spray with carb clean. Wipe or toothbrush off all the carbon deposits, then start it up and see if it helps. Sorry, but it does sound like an IAC problem. Hope that helps!

You need a new Carborator. It is hard to say what might have happened to the one that you currently have, but I had the same problem with one of my old trucks, got a new carborator as per the mechanic, never happened again
