hard start 91 toyota 4 runner Sign In

1991 Toyota 4 runner
3.0 v6
214,xxx miles

This thing runs like a top once you get it started but if it has sat for a day or two it takes a minimum of 15 seconds of cranking to get it to start. Sometimes it is worse when it is very cold out. We have changed the following:

spark plugs
plug wires
distributor cap
rotor
air filter

Also I pulled the codes out of it and all I got was an o2 sensor and that turned out to be a broken wire.

I am thinking that the fuel pressure is bleeding off when it sits but I could be wrong. When the key it turned on I can not hear the fuel pump "cycle".

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

tim; Of course, fuel pressure is a concern. Connect a fuel pressure guage and check that. With the cold temps, I would be suspect of the coolant temp sensor. This sensor tells the computer engine temp and commands fuel delivery, accordingly. If you have an ohmmeter, we can supply you with a chart that shows what the resistance should be at varying temps.
