Toyota Tundra Forum

Recently my positive battery cable disconneted, and i realized the terminal was loose so I took that off and put a new end on and now it still shut off and any stop light or sign that I am at. It idols very low then it shuts off

any help ???

What year and engine is the truck? Does it shut off when idling in the driveway?

Try to clean the throttle with carburator cleaner. make sure it is fuel injection safe.

do you think it could be a idoler control motor issue

This happened to a RAV4 that I owned. This is what they did in the dealer shop and fixed the problem. Apparently carbon deposits in the part that opens and closes to let the air in, (I don't know the it's name in English) make it to move slower.
Hope it helps.

Yes I would start with cleaning the throttle body. I use a good intake cleaner and a toothbrush to get the carbon out. I would also reset the computer after cleaning and starting the truck. The computer adjusts as you drive the truck for the amount of air flow needed and restrictions. If your throttle body is really gunked up and you unhook the battery the computer goes back to default. To reset the computer unhook the battery again and let sit for 5 minutes. Make sure you clean out the throttle body and start the truck before reseting.
