stuck at 3000 rpm - Toyota Tundra Forums : Tundra Solutions Forum

okay so about three days ago, my check engine light came on. later that day I noticed that I can't get past 3000 rpm either in neutral or in drive, etc. the engine seems to just skip and do alot of jumping. Its like it's trying to go past, but unsuccessfully.

these are the codes that came up, and I replaced the one o2 sensor that I saw got shredded when I bottomed out in ocatillo.

is there any way to totally bypass or override them?

I have no passing power and its like driving the 4cyl 4runner i had in hs.

p0031
p0037
p0051
p0057
which are all o2 sensors
and p0101
p0102 which is my maf.

I replaced the bad one and reset the comp but still don't know what to do. still have the problem.

Your truck is in limp mode. It is also probably running very rich too isn't it? This is something your computer will do in order to save your engine since it is running so many codes.

I had this problem when I burnt one of my 02 sensor wires after I did my headers. I ended up taking it to a shop. I think a fuse may have blown as well...not sure. You may have to re-flash the computer if you can't erase the codes. I also wasn't able to reset the codes, but the shop I took it to was able to do that. Although, I'm not exactly sure how.

Sorry I don't know much more besides this. You may have to break down and take it somewhere. But tell them you already replaced the 02 sensor that caused all of this!!!! If you don't they will probably try to throw parts at it and you'll be wasting money.

hmmi didn't even know there was alimpmode.

Unfortunatly,I have no idea what flashing means

Ill checkmy fuses and keep you posted. shop sounds like what it's leaning too.

I think it is runnign rich.

I'm glad that imnot the only one who had this problem. (not to sound like a jackass. I'm just glad to know I'm not the only one to break this particular part.)

I hate to keep asking this question, but what brand of sensor did you replace your old one(s) with?

oh and i just learned that you set your scanner on clear code mode to erase them. apparently the tundy has a very long memory code backup 8 /
