This morning I left to go pick my girlfriend up for church, then I remembered about half a mile into my drive that I needed to put the bottom halves of the rear seats in the truck for a concert later. I go home, turn the key to off, and my starter begins cranking and cranking and cranking. So I turn the key to keep the engine running, then try again; no dice, it's still cranking. Remembering I have a remote starter, I pop the hood then turn the key off, and thankfully the safety measures in the engine bay cut the engine off.
I get the seats in and try to crank the engine... Nothing. No clicks, no whines, nothing! I try the remote starter, and what do you know? The damn thing starts.
I get in the cabin and look at my dash, seeing there is a check engine light on, along with my TRAC OFF, VSC OFF, and that "holy sh*t you're sliding" light. I check error codes on my ultragauge and it turns out I have PO345.
A google search turned up with "cam positioning error" and reading into a few forum posts for other vehicles, it turned up to be a bad alternator....
If it ain't one thing it's another. Would Toyota cover something like that?
