Car Died in front of Work
Turning onto the street in front of my work and across the street from the Toyota dealer my car decided to die. Basically the engine stayed on but would not accelerate. Lights on the dash were abs, traction, battery, and oil light. No check engine light though. Car would not start back up again either. It just got towed to the dealer today so I will keep you guys posted on the issue.
So far the dealer has put in a work order with Toyota but has no idea with the issue is. Day 1 3/7 Day 2-No Update Day 5-No Update (Will hopefully have an update for me tomorrow 3/12) Day 6-Got the car back. Here is what was written on the invoice. Check power source for ECU and found 15AMP EfI control fuse blown. Install new fuse and popped immediately, short ground somewhere in system. Open case and was advised to try to isolate short by disonnection sensors in system. When taking off metal bracket on bank 1 near parts injectors #3 pass rear wire grounding out of bracket. Fix insulation with liquid tape and apply felt to bracket and reposition injector to now rub.

Engine mods are just a drop in filter and cat back.

Sad to hear about this, hope it's not too serious. At least it's nothing they can pin on you.

Yea it is what it is. Dealer should have something for me by 5pm. I did notice however that there was a lot of sand in the engine bay. Is that normal?

Lmao. Well there seems to be a lot of sand/dirt in the engine bay. Seems like its easy for that to get in the bay from under the car. Just curious because it seems like a lot for owning the car for less than a year.
Car has about 14500 miles and is a MT

Dirt shouldn't hurt the car though assuming everything was built as designed. Edit: coming up on 5,000 miles and my engine bay is like an 9/10, just needs a hose down. BUT, I'm in sunny California so it'll probably look like that for the next two years. |

Spoke with the dealer and they said it was from some sort of electrical short. They are not sure where it came from. I'm curious if its from the rear fog install. Hmm
