2000 tacoma 4x4 2.7L 4cyl.
code is
PO125
clsd loop fuel cntr insufficant coolant temp.

DTC pending codes
P1135 manufacturer contr. fuel air metering

advanced auto parts gave me these scan codes from my truck
they felt it was the coolant temp sensor ,but the temp.gauge works fine
it was a cheap part so I took there advise it didn't correct the problem
I felt it was the after cat. oxy sencer I replaced it and that wasn't it.
if I reset the check engine light by removing bat. terminal it will stay
off for about 3 miles then comes back on
any advise on what the real problem is ? this started after replacing the
exhaust from cat back. that is why I felt I damaged
the rear oxy sensor.
any info. on what is giving this error code would help thank you

The coolant temp sensor tells the ECU what temp the engine is. It is not
the same as the temp gauge sending unit, which runs the dash gauge.

I would hook up a scan tool that is capable of reading sensors values and
check the coolant temp sensor. Also, you can't always trust the auto parts
stores to read the codes properly. I can't find a code P1135 for Toyota. Are
you sure that's correct ?

the second code is what it says on the paper they gave me. but that's just a
pending code.
where is this coolant temp. sensor located?
the only thing I can find is maybe at the egr pipe under the alt. at the
return to the rad. from the engine.cant really see under there
but there is some kind of sensor there ,is that the one?

No such code for a toyota. That's what can happen when using a generic
scan tool, you don't get the proper code.


> where is this coolant temp. sensor located?

I believe it is located under the intake. I have a picture, do you have a
valid email address that I can send it to ?

That is not the EGR pipe as it is attached to the cooling system. The EGR
pipe runs from the back of the intake to the back of the exhaust.

The sensor you see below the alternator is the crank sensor.
