My 2001 toyota tacoma is squealing nonstop and i think the powersteering pump is bad is this correct

I'm reading between the lines a lot here, but for quite some time, cars have had impact sensors in the grill that shut off the fuel pump in a collision - this prevents pumping gas on a fire. https://onlineparts.toyotasouthatlanta.com/a/Toyota__Tacoma/48597635__6011910/AIR-BAG-COMPONENTS/8512505.html

In that case then the fluid is too thick of a viscosity to run through the lines. In some cases you can clean it out otherwise install a new one. must pull pump to clean out.

sounds like yiour fuel pump is not running or you have a clooged fuel filter. If the pump is not running it could be the relay or a bad pump. The pump runs for about 1.5 second when you turn on the key.. go to back of truck and have someone just turn the key on to the accessory position. you should be able to hear the pump start and stop.. Kinda a bussing noise.

Check the level of your power steering fluid and have your pump checked. You are probably just low o fluid.

Dear Maria Mitchell,

Best thing to do here I would advise, would be to service these belts as a matter of urgency. Squealing of any kind is going to physically wear these parts out. Change the belts, and when you do so, check all of the pulleys and sprockets, check all of the bolts are in place and that none of the pulleys or sprockets are bent, distorted or deformed in any way. . In addition, I (being a thorough investigator, and considering all options), would certainly turn the crankshaft over manually and check the level of resistance on this, same for the cam. Oil levels too would be a first indictator of any sign of enginje damage that could cause other symptoms to manifest.

Realistically though, just replace those belts, renew and replace all bolts and as said, check those sprockets and pulleys. Swap out the belt tensioner for a new one, and while about it, seeing as you gone this far, may as well perform a simple fluid check and change, and consider new plugs and leads. This comes under what is called a GENERAL SERVICE. Or better yet, sit in a coffee shop, drinking loads of coffee..... whilist a mechanic deals with it.

In the meantime, I hope this is the fixya for you and look forward to hearing how you get on.

Yours sincerely

Ouszen

powersteering pump going out if not waterpump one of those pullys on the front of those going bad

Adjust belt tension on powersteering pump, if belt is separate, if not, it may be time for a new serpentine belt. When was it/they last changed?
