2001 Toyota Sienna

Question: Starts then cuts out immediately

The van was initally showing a P1135 code but when I replaced the 02 sensor, the code no longer came up.

So now the van will not run even though it is showing no codes.

If I use the throttle, I can keep it running. But it is running rough and as soon as I let off the throttle, the van shuts off immediately.
I had a Toyota Previa altac for ten years - 250,000 miles and little problems with it. Thanks

    This is going to need to be diagnosed to know what is going on here. There are many possibilities and we would need much more info to even know where to start.
    If you could provide some info like diagnostic trouble codes stored in the engine control module, that would be a good start. Fuel pressure too.
    If you cannot provide these, then it's best you take this to a repair shop, here are some near you: http://repairpal.com/directory?address=28716&car_brand_na...

    This is going to require checking the fuel pressure, fuel mixture and some of the data from the sensors to the engine module. Without performing these inspections and tests it's very hard to provide much more info, sorry.

    This sounds like something I experienced a few years back on my 2001 Sienna. In my case it was the "idol motor." I am just an owner - not a mechanic

    if it was a universal o2 sensor it could be wired wrong.
