    Need Diagnostic Help: Engine died while driving on freeway/ Now won't start

    On another note. I purchased an ELMS 327 Wifi OBDII module and the iOBD2 app for my iPhone to help diagnose the problem and it worked great. I would recommend it. I originally had the codes scanned at Autozone, but they didn't find the P0335 crank shaft position sensor code. The iOBD2 app...

    Need Diagnostic Help: Engine died while driving on freeway/ Now won't start

    Problem Solved!! Ok, so good news. I finally found the source of the problem. The crank shaft position sensor wire had come loose and was rubbing against the serpentine belt. This ended up cutting the wire in half which caused the engine to shutdown immediately to protect itself. I properly...

    Need Diagnostic Help: Engine died while driving on freeway/ Now won't start

    I pulled the passenger side top cover and inspected it while cranking the engine. I didn't see any excessive wear on the belt, but then again I guess I couldn't really inspect the teeth that way. Are you thinking that possibly in the cold weather some of the teeth on the belt could have been...

    Need Diagnostic Help: Engine died while driving on freeway/ Now won't start

    So one of the codes that was thrown is C1224 Open/Short circuit in NE signal circuit. From what I understand, this is the crank shaft position sensor circuit. Is that correct? If that is the case could it be that the crank shaft position sensor failed and that would cause the engine to no...

    Engine died

    Any luck on a solution? My truck did the same thing to me yesterday. I have a 2003 4Runner V8 Limited.

    It has 750 CCA. I installed it last year.

    My battery voltage is at 11.66 V. Is this too low to start?

    Need Diagnostic Help: Engine died while driving on freeway/ Now won't start

    I have tried to disconnect the battery. I don't have a tool to reset the codes. I just inspected the timing belt and it is intact thank goodness, so that is not the culprit. :high5: I just went through the fuse box and have no blown fuses. I see no fluids leaking or any odd smells. What...

    Zak, that grill insert is awesome by the way.

    Wow I really hope this is not the case. I replaced the timing belt and water pump at 100K to prevent something like that from happening. Shouldn't this throw a cam sensor code? I guess I'll need to take off the timing belt covers and inspect. I didn't smell anything or see any debris.

    Need Diagnostic Help: Engine died while driving on freeway/ Now won't start

    I did fill it up today right before this happened at a Safeway gas station. I was almost on empty when I filled up. The engine didn't die until after I had driven over 20 miles from filling up.

    Need Diagnostic Help: Engine died while driving on freeway/ Now won't start

    Ok, so you are saying it threw those codes because the engine stopped while I was driving and the car was still coasting with the key on while I applied the brakes to stop from freeway speed? I've already verified that the fuel pump is functioning. There was somewhat of a clunk sound/feeling...

    Need Diagnostic Help: Engine died while driving on freeway/ Now won't start

    I was driving on the freeway today at around 70 MPH in my 2003 V8 Limited with 155K miles when the engine just died. The check engine light came on and the A/T Oil Temp Light came on. I coasted to a stop and turned off the ignition and attempted to turn it on again, but it just cranks, but...

    Lift and Tire Central (pics)... Post 'em Up!

    No, I have about a 1/4" clearance of the body mount. The backspacing on my wheels gives me a perfect amount of outset and clearance. I think they are -6. I'll have to double check, I looked at the paperwork, but it doesn't say and it has been a couple years since I had them installed so I don't...
