2006 Toyota Tundra.
Engine size = V8
Warning lights = maintenance required  light on.
Repairs for this problem = none
I started my truck as I normally do and it revved up but then just idled down and
died. I tried several times to restart and the same thing happened. I tried to
increase idle and even put the vehicle in gear and tried to move it but it kept dying.
The maintenance required light should have nothing to do with the
fact the truck is running like this. You may have a large vacuum leak
causing it to stall when it idles down. Possibly carbon buildup in the
throttle or a problem with the throttle or idle air control. Check for a
vacuum leak first then get the computer codes scanned. Many of the
large national parts store chains will do this for free.

Did all except scan codes and then took it to mechanic but I noticed a wire that had been
chewed by mouse or squirrel. This wire attached to a module mounted on the fender well
passenger side. I pointed this out to mechanic and at first he did not think this was the
problem. When hooked up to diagnostic nothing came up so he repaired the wire and the
truck started right away and had no problems. Still don't know what that module is?

It's the ignition module.
