Was out driving, then suddenly lack of power at 3-4k rpm. Pulled error code 51. Help?

Haha. Thanks JJ. Yeah, that was the fuel cut I was talking about...I didn't know that IDL was used for deceleration fuel cut as Nick said.

Have you seen the autoshop101 website? It has most of the TCCS OBD and OBDII EFI technical articles Toyota has published for technicians. Nearly everthing is there.

LOL @ thinking the code 52 has no effect on performance. :nono:

Fix the code. :nono:

In all honesty, I bet you'll be amazed how much better your car will run. It's like night and day.
Ok, let's put it this way.. For me there is no noticeable performance change with having knock sensor error. I've never had this GTE engine running without this error, and at the moment there is no fuel cuts, it boosts good etc.. but sure it's probably as you say effecting the amount of performance. However, it doesn't make the engine go anything then smooth.. so for me I'm happy with that. lol :) But when something happenes to the engine, and it needs to be in the garage for a few days then I'll try to get to fix the knock sensors.

LMAO!
You've never driven it without code 52?

That's like saying- you've never gotten a BJ, but your balls haven't exploded, so you must not need a BJ...

You will be blown away at the difference. If you think your car feels good now... I'd love to see the look on your face when you get this fixed.
