Checked the throttle body. NASTY!!! BAD NASTY!!! Looks like a project for the weekend Thanks guys

So a few months ago I got home, shut of the engine realized I forgot something, started it back up (maybe 10 seconds between off and start again) it REALLY lagged to crank and when it finally did it was idling below 500rpm and shaking badly. It's done it maybe about 3-4 times over the last few...

I battled this code for months in my 02. I cleaned the MAF, changed O2 sensors (both denso) new gas cap, plugs and wires, still no luck! Tried Seafoam and Cataclean. I came to point of the O2 simulator and really didnt want to take that $100 gamble since nothing else seemed to work. I was...

Were you actually able to bolt it on? I've noticed a lot of the bolt on exhaust parts still require cutting and welding.

I have a gauge that can monitor the sensor output and I diagnosed it with that. I found through more days of google that all the 01-02 have the cali type 2 cat emission set up. I think im just going to have them both cut off and replace with 1 magnaflow high flow. Everyone seems to have had good...

Just finished up with your suggestion. No more pending codes are showing on my gauge. I guess only time will tell but thanks for the help!

Do you remember where you got the rebuilt one from? That sounds like the direction I'm wanting to go.

Tried seafoam and cataclean. No luck.

Also it has 2 cats. Doesn't that mean it's one of the California emissions vehicles. Or did all of the 2002 models have 2 cats?

I've just read so many posts about the aftermarket cats none of which had good things to say so I was wanting to stay away from it. Finding that trusted muffler shop will be a shot in the dark also. It's not a complete no though. I've thought on it a lot and a buddy of mine has an 02 tacoma with...

Those cost way to much. And the after markets are crap

For the last few months I've been going round for round with this dang 420 code. I've since replaced both O2 sensors, MAF, spark plugs and wires. The best luck I've had of it not popping back up was running pure gas. I have an ultra-gauge so I'm able to check and clear the CEL when it comes on...

Have you tried to reset the ECU? If not disconnect the battery negative I usually wait about 30-60 secs and reconnect it. Drive it after that it will probably idle below 500 at first but it will correct itself when it resets
