My 1994 Toyota 4runner stalls out while I'm driving, why?

My truck definitely has a problem. While I'm driving on the highway especially, my truck would stall out for a quick second, the check engine light would come on too for that second and turn back off. It happens at least once when I go out. Also, if I drive to farther places and stop somewhere, I'd come back and start my car, then sometimes it would have trouble staying on, I could hear the struggle my engine is putting up with trying to stay on, but 40% of the time it'd stall out and I have to start it up again. HELP!

well first thing I would check is that all the engine grounds are tight and the battery grounds.. does it seem electrical when it happens or fuel related? can you tell? is there something you can do that makes it stall more?

Time for tune up. New air filter and new plugs and wires. Maybe new gas filter also.

#1 cause is an EGR issue. next on the list is the ECU. and you don't wanna go there. so,,,,















since the check engine light came on it has stored a code. even if it went out.































i would pull codes. issue is obviously intermittent.















you don't need a scanner tool for this. you just make the check engine light blink.

FYI,















per manual, not all codes prompt a check engine light. so there maybe more than one code stored. you may want to pull the EFI 15 amp main fuse for 30secs, key off first. that will clear all codes. then start the vehicle and let it malfunction again. then pull codes. this will eliminate stored codes that aren't relative, that have been addressed, but not cleared. the SST tool needed for diagnostics is just a jumper wire. so make one. 6" of wire w/two alligator clips is all you need. and your keys..........
