Hello,

Can anyone help with advice on this?

2003 Toyota Tundra shuts off or stalls in drive/reverse gears when at a stop only. Will go with fast acceleration.
-No signs of transmission issue prior
-only code is catalytic converter below threshold
-Replaced throttle body after problem. No luck.
-Replaced air filter 30k miles back
-replaced spark plugs 20k miles back

Could this be the fuel pump or related part?

Thanks,
Alan

The code is P0420 catalyst system efficiency below threshold bank 1. It has been on there for a few years prior to this breakdown.

Maybe start with the code you know you have first. A quick search on here says you need new 02 sensors and stick with only Denso, never Bosch. If it were me I would replace those and see if that takes care of it. Here's one:

P0420 P0430 error codes

Recently purchased used 2005 Tundra V8 4.7L. It has 100K miles and is getting P0420 and P0430 codes. The truck has been in NH its whole life. I've read the threads on these codes and learned a great deal. Here is what I know: 1. Previous owner said he recently replaced two back O2...

If you replace the sensors and still have problems then read this one. Not saying you have the same issue as symptoms are different but the point is this guy had damaged wires due to mice so you might have a similar problem. And shorted wires can cause all kinds of weird issues.

Need help! Unexplained powerloss

Hello all, Its been a couple month of intermittent power loss/bogging issues with my 2006 Tundra DC. Long story short it feels as if I'm towing a boat in the lower rpms, revs in the higher rpms. Also when going up hill all the sudden no power and struggles to climb. It will shift, but no power...

Thanks. I'm going to try removing the driver's side converter and looking at it and then that as well.
