Hi
Returning from our last trip our 93 V6 4Runner intermittently got difficult to start. The problem only surfaces very infrequently like once on the Tanami and about 6 times at
home in the last 6 months. When it faults, it fires after the normal cranking but will not proceed to running. After several attempts, (all so far) it fires up and misses a bit then runs normally until next time it faults. I could take it to my mechanic but this will probably mean a very expensive trial and error process. I don't mind replacing the part what ever it is but trial and error can be frustrating.
Has anyone out there experienced similar problems? I would appreciate any help you can offer.
Regards
Peter

OK, looks like my call is a bit wrong, but its something to remember.
Do you have " mystery " inline filter ? My Navara 3.0 TD has one at the fuel tank
Do you allow 2 - 3 seconds for the electronic injection to pump up ,, ( if that makes sence to you ? ) ie brings up the fuel line to full working pressure ,,,, then it should fire ( maybe )
Tried whipping oout the fuel pump from the tank ,,,, you may find that its blocked too,,,
And when all else fails, try that Chem Tec Injector cleaner

Thanks Bucky. I will try these things and see if they make any difference. I reckon it is a fuel problem so your suggestion might fix it
