$20 Engine Mod Could Save You Thousands. 2nd Gen Toyota Tacoma Mod

[@BigPinger]

4:10 yes the foam filter breaking up can cause damage. The foam blows its way down into the check valves that let the air flow into the exhaust system and can either block them closed (check engine light and trac light + error code P2441) or get them stuck closed (I believe P2440ish?) Regardless, blocked closed isn't too big of a problem, but if they get blocked open then your engine can blow hot exhaust back up through the secondary air system and burn it all up.

[@claytonmetz3116]

The air pump and valves were replaced by Toyota on warranty, as long as you were under 240,000 Kms

[@vikingveteran]

[@vikingveteran]

Thank you. I have had mine on for I think 5 years and I just check it once a year to make sure it's not damaged or dirty. I have not had to change it or even clean it the whole time. It only turns on during startup for maybe 2 min. So in the past five years the fan might have ran for 12 hours.

[@BertCollins]

K & N filters are made for racing they have better air flow but they don't filter anything.

[@vikingveteran]

As long as the filter is kept clean and oiled it will keep out any particles that could effect your truck. Also the whole point of this mod is to keep the filter for deteriorating and getting sucked up through your pump into your engine. The secondary air pump only comes on for mear minutes during start up and that is all. It is just used to improve emissions.

Tacoma holds its price better then any other truck. So with that low of milage you actually got a good deal. I would recommend changing all your fluids so you start off fresh but if you keep up with maintenance I have seen a few tacomas with over 500k and it still runs like new

The only thing I can say to check since it has the new frame is when you test drive it. Make sure you pop it in 4x4 and check that it is smooth. I know multiple people with tacomas with over 500k miles and the engine still runs like new. But matinance was always kept up with.

Thanks for this. I also need to replace the air injection control driver, does anyone know where that is located?

[@vikingveteran]

No problem. When I get a chance I'll see if I can look it up for you. But if anyone knows please comment.

@@johnnyramirez9082 anytime. Thanks for helping to keep these beautiful trucks on the road

I can't seem to locate this on my '08 PreRunner either. I'm sure it's gotta be there somewhere; just haven't found it yet.

[@vikingveteran]

Have you looked around the windshield washer reservoir?

[@rickt140]

@@vikingveteran Yeah, only things on that side are the washer reservoir, power steering fluid, air breather inlet hose and the ABS hydraulic control unit. Maybe this is a California smog emissions deal?

[@vikingveteran]

@@rickt140 I look it up for you when I get into work. Cali Emmissions would absolutely have it. Now we just need to find Waldo

What engine do you have?

Sorry new to fixing my own truck! But how exactly does this save money? Is it for fuel economy? Would my ‘06 Tacoma need it done?

[@vikingveteran]

No need to be sorry. The way it saves you money is. If the original filter in the secondary air pump falls apart. It is going to get sucked up through the pump destroying it. Then traveling into you engine. This will not save on anything. But is just a preventative measure you take to save on unnecessary damages due to a cheap filter. Yes your 06 tacoma could use this.

[@dannywitt6483]

2005-2011 don’t have secondary air filter. This was an emissions addition at 2012 .
