Tacoma high fuel consumption MAF sensor

Hello, I have a 2006 Toyota Tacoma with a gasoline engine, mileage 136422 km. Recently, I've noticed higher fuel consumption, and the engine sometimes stalls at idle. The check engine light is also on, and there's some smoke when accelerating. Could this be a defective mass air flow meter?

A 2006 Toyota Tacoma is experiencing higher fuel consumption, engine stalling at idle, a check engine light, and smoke during acceleration. These symptoms suggest a potential issue with the mass air flow (MAF) sensor. After checking the air intake and confirming the problem, replacing the faulty MAF sensor resolved the issues.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Hey! I had similar problems with my Tacoma. Check your MAF sensor. Is your air intake clean?

Thanks! I will check the air intake. Could a faulty MAF sensor really cause all those symptoms?

Yup, sounds like the MAF sensor to me. Mine did the exact same thing. I’d say it's time to get it checked at a workshop.

Thank you! After visiting the workshop, it turns out it was indeed the MAF sensor. Repair cost 365€. I appreciate your help!
