- 2008 6 cyl tacoma engine light
- Posted by wallman
2008 6 cyl. 6 speed, 19,000 miles, yellow engine light came on steady,not
blinking. No indication of overheating, gauge still in the middle. Started
and ran ok for about 10 miles then started sounding like a diesel engine,
got on city streets and stalled. Waited 5 minutes and restarted. Stalled
and would not start for another 5 min. Checked out engine again, found
some kind of fluid, not oil all about the lower radiator area. Had the
truck towed to garage. What could have happened? Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks Robert

Could be coolant. 19,000 miles is a little early for a waterpump or hose
failure. Same for the radiator. But, it sounds like one of them let go.
Should be in warranty though.

It may be ATF but more likely low on coolant if it affects the engine
like that.
Besides road damage to the radiator, it's likely manufacturing or
materials defect. Get it serviced under warranty.
