truck cutting off

[mxking88]

I recently bought a '94 Toyota 4cyl. 5-speed pickup w/ the TRD offroad package and 33x12.5 tires. It's an overall solid truck except for a minor problem that i can't figure out. When i'm driving and start to slow down the truck just cuts off without giving any warning. It'll start back up real easy most of the time so i'm not 100% sure on what it could be and i don't have the money to just go out and replace everything I think it could be. Can anyone help me?

If i were experiencing that with my truck I would probably start with a fuel filter.Thi is a common maintance item which totally sucks to change on the 22re,and is therefore commonly NOT changed untill problems occur,which are exactly like the ones you describe The fuel filter(as my busted knuckle memory says)is located on the side of the block somewhere between the starter and the bottom of the intake manifold,and is best accessed through the fenderwell opening

Sorry to disagree, but if it was a clogged filter the engine would die under higher rpm and acceleration, not under decelleration. The fuel demands are less under decelleration, allowing the filter to "catch up". I'd go wiggling cables while the engine is running, but watch out for the moving parts. I had a similar experience that ended up being from the negative battery clamp just sitting on the (new) battery post without being tightened. Another of my experiences with a "professional mechanic".

Another thing to consider is there may be a fuel kill switch in the event of collision that may be setting off due to the negative g-force under decelleration. I don't know if you have it, but maybe look into it.
