    Hello everyone,

    My 96 Tacoma sr5 v6 4x4 has cold start and I don't like it. It did this since I bought it, three months ago. I say cold start I mean every time in the morning, afternoon, or evening or whenever I park it for about a few/several hours and start it then it does that. When I turn on the engine and go then it does not run normal. It runs rough for about 2-3 minutes then I hear something stick/push under my foot which is on the gas paddle then it runs normal. I'm in North Carolina and the weather is good and hot. Do you know what's wrong with it?

    Thanks

    Thank you for your subjection. I'll try to clean it sometime this evening then I'll report it back here for you.

    Again, thanks.

    It was raining yesterday and I could not get to touch it. I'll try again this evening or tomorrow if I can. Then I'll report back here for you.

    I already cleaned the MAF and replaced the Air Mass Censor with a used one but it is still doing the same thing. (Note: The used Air Mass Censor one works fine with my other truck. Moreover, my other truck runs fine with my old Air Mass Censor too). Do you think it might be the Spark Plug and Wire Cables?
