Sometimes right after I start the vehicle it stalls out. What would cause this?

Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your Tacoma. Stalling right after starting can be frustrating, especially if it's becoming more frequent. A few common culprits could be at play here. It might be related to a faulty idle air control valve, which helps regulate the engine's idle speed. A dirty or failing mass airflow sensor could also cause stalling by misreading the air intake. Additionally, fuel delivery issues—like a clogged fuel filter or failing fuel pump—can lead to stalling right after startup. Since the problem has been worsening, having a mechanic check these components to diagnose and resolve the issue effectively is a good idea.
