I bought a 1994 Toyota 4x4 in April 2006, and the computer has already been replaced as well as the entire wiring harness. I just want to return the truck to the dealer I bought it from. What are my options?? I've almost been killed in this truck twice because it just dies out.

Since it is a used car, it does not qualify as a lemon law car.
This does not mean that you do not have any options. My brother-in-law is a lemon law attorney and I consulted him. You should contact an attorney specializing in Consumer Protection. You might have a very strong case since your life has possibly been jeopardized by this car.
Good luck and all the best to you!

I do not believe the lemon law covers used cars in California. However a couple of questions for you, did they tell you up front that wiring harness and computer had been replaced? If they did, did they tell you why? Are you sure that the harness or computer is why its stalling? Have you called the dealer and told them what is going on? If they do not give you answers ask for the number to the factory rep. If it is truly a safety issue Toyota should be able to help you out.
That being said if they replaced those parts to fix a stalling problem and it still happens then its obvious something else is wrong. When does the car stall? Did it happen under the same circumstance? Keep in mind that when you buy a used car in California they have a sticker in the window that says if the car has a warranty or not. If yours says no warranty the dealer is off the hook unless they hid something about the car from you.
