00 Tacoma weird idle at start up

[taco_tay]

Hey guys

Just bought my 00 Tacoma Trd 3.4L about a week ago. Im loving this truck but today after a little expedition trip in the mountains, I started it up and it started to idle weird for a few seconds. When I put it drive the throttle response was really weird but it only lasted a few seconds. Drove fine till I got to autozone to have them check my check engine light. When I bought it it had the check engine light on and the previous owner said because there was an exhaust leak near the muffler (which in fact was true according to the autozone scan). It also said that zone 1 in the motor wasn't getting proper fuel pressure?? Im pretty sure thats what he said. He explained that the exhaust leak could be throwing off that second code as well as the weird idle. If you guys have ever had this problem or have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

You need to get the code it's throwing. I wouldn't take the autozone guys word for it. Once you have the code run a few internet searches. You'll be surprised how many people have had the same issues. I'll be your way in a few weeks man. See you then.

Not enough info to give a good diagnosis...

Fuel pressure is either the regulator or the pump, I doubt the exhaust leak has anything to do with it (unless its not a fuel pressure problem and the Autozone guy took a lean bank code to mean fuel...)

Fix the exhaust leak and get the codes if it throws them again.

oh and ya I figured out the problem with the weird idle... it helps when you intake is attached to the motor haha... must have fallen off earlier today. Thanks guys
