    I am posting this here for Noel.

    I have a 2003 Toyota grand cabin mini bus that shuts down while driving . the first time it happened was last week while I was driving approximately 60 km /hr. all the dash lights came on and there was not pressure on the gas pedal. the week before I changed engine mount, engine oil, fuel filter and blow out a fairly new air filter then replace it. The engine also shut down one morning while trackling. what could cause the problem?

    in addition the vehicle started a few minutes after it shut down. all light were off. the problem repeat another day.

    Need a replacement transmission? Quality transmissions are hard to find. Free estimate to your email.

    At least you know one good thing, the transmission isn’t at fault here. The fact is I don’t think it is even contributing to your Toyota’s problem. Look elsewhere for the problem. I suspect you may have a problem with the cooling system as engines seldom shut down in the manner you describe unless there is something catastrophic about to take place, like a meltdown or something.

    Be sure to check the coolant level in the plastic reservoir to make sure there’s enough anti-freeze/coolant in the block so that your engine won’t turn into a pile of molten metal.
