I own a 2005 Toyota Tacoma. On several occasions the vehicle has shut down when I attempt to proceed from a stop. This occurs while I am in traffic. The vehicle may or may not start for some time after that. If it does start, it will idle ok but when I step on the gas pedal it shuts down. After continually starting for a few times it may run ok for a while. I had it serviced at a dealer the first time and they ended up replacing the computer system. It worked fine for about 3-4 months but then began doing it again. I took the vehicle in for service at the dealer again and they find nothing wrong. It has happened to me about 6 or 7 times now.
