 Subject: stall while driving??
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a 94 V6 2WD.
Twice in the past week while town driving the engine appears to shut off and start again right away while in motion and under constant power.??
Last month the truck refused to start. ZERO power to anything, as if no battery under the hood. So I look under the hood, with the keys in my pocket. I tried the jiggle test on the wires to the mainfuse box and the engine started, Keys still in pocket and no one in the cab.
What the ??!!!
Time for a new one.
The wife works for Toyota but I love the Dak.

Need to check / repair wiring under that mainfuse box.
There is a splice of 3 or 4 wires - need to redo it.

this will be like the 6th time i have posted this:
"Right below the underhood fusebox, about 8" down the harness is a splice (#115), from that splice, it powers the PCM, Fuel Pump, and Coil. All four wires are Red/white, one comes from the fusebox, two go right back up to the relays, and the fourth goes the opposite direction to the PCM. You will have to unbolt the fusebox, pull it out of the way, and cut open the tape on the harness to find the splice.
I guess what happens is that water gets into the fusebox, drains down the harness, and eventually corrodes the splice into green powder (oxidized copper). You cannot tell if it is bad by looking at it, you will have to cut the tape off of the splice and inspect the connection. If you see and green or white residue on the connection under the tape, it has started to go bad and needs to be re-done (preferably by soldering).
This problem can be very intermittent, sometimes just a single miss while cruising down the highway, sometimes just a long cranking time
