Also if you don't mind a little noise until they actually do fix it ( I do remember you saying that you were told Toyota was in the making of a new type of fuel pump ) so why keep going to change the fuel pump? I don't know where your coming from with the lose of power cause I don't notice any power lose at all? Maybe it's your head thinking you have lost power? If so please meet me so I can see this so I can understand where your coming from....

I have the new model pump with the stiffer plungers in it so it doesn't turbulent the fuel and cause the chirp (in theory). The power loss happened before and it started stalling at idle like when I would warm it up in the morning I would start it and after a minute or two it would stall out. I think it might be going into limp mode but the CEL only flashes on for a second when it does it then goes right back off. It comes and goes but when it happens it won't get up to 65mph. Could be an ECU issue because they reset it when they change the fuel pump so it only appears to be the fuel pump failing. I take it in tomorrow to get it looked at and this time they are going to address it as 2 separate issues. I know there was an issue with cars going into limp mode before that was ECU related but the CEL would stay on and the problem was consistent.
