Driving down the road and it started sputtering and dying out. Drove it to a dealership a couple km away. I had high transmission temperature and low oil pressure lights flashing. Dealer checked out the codes; 4 codes of fuel pressure problems. He cleared the codes and told me it was most likely bad gas so to keep driving it since it was running perfect again (it ran good until engine got warm). I drove it for 10km only reaching maybe 10km/h and stalling over 20 times before getting towed home. Tried letting it idle in my heated shop for an hour and took it out and still the same. Got it towed to the dealer where I bought the truck; and they replaced the fuel pump and fuel pump wire harness. Seems to be running good now although I think the sputtering might have damaged my catalytic convertor. It doesn't sound the same as it used to... Really disapointed in these 3rd gen tacomas.
