2000 Toyota Tacoma 2.4 litre 106,000 miles
My wife was going to work and the truck just quit running. It will start up and 30 seconds later it quits again. Ran a check on system said it was the crank sensor so replaced that. Checked the efi relay it says it is good. Checked all the fuses and they are good as well. Disconnected the computer reset it and same thing happened. Need some help please.

Is the crank sensor code coming back since you replaced it?

You have an intermittent problem so you can test components from now till doomsday and it won't tell you a thing because the problem isn't present at that moment.
You need to somehow determine which functions are dropping out at the moment it stalls. Everything else is just wild guessing and that can get very expensive.

I can unplug the computer and the truck runs but not good. But I will do another check to see if any codes show up again. Thanks for your help..

A mechanic at the Toyota dealership has done the same thing.. It runs poorly but can not drive it like that. I have talked to many people and they say it might be a relay and a few have said it is the computer. If it is the computer something made it go bad so still have to find out what the problem is.

The computer controls the fuel pump. the fuel injectors and the ignition so you are saying the car ran without a computer? I seriously doubt that.

Thanks for your time ..When I run another test on it ..I will post again. I misunderstood what was said to me. Sorry I was told that one set of plugs to the computer were unplugged.. It was the set that makes the tach and guages work. If I could afford to take it to a shop thats where it would go.

Does it stop running at idle ?
Not sure if you're engine has it , but it could be the Idle Air Control Valve .

Trying to think why an IAC problem would cause a crank sensor code to show up.
