    check engine light never on. checked for high idle, and codes were shown at O reillys. idle problem solved by cleaning iac and throttle body, changed coolant thermostat, engine coolant sensor, and small slim washer in side of throttle body added.

    Injector_97.jpg Update: Injectors arrived, delay in installing due to alignment and camber bolt kit and bushings replacement. Injectors replaced, so far no issues with starting after hot engine and shutting it down for 15 minutes. Injectors look like they were original with 268,000 miles. Truck does accelerate and run stronger now. Thanks for the Help TacomaWorld.

    Update: No Issues with hot starting whatsoever. Also changed out Driveline Center Bearing,( vibration 25-30mph), and throttle positon sensor just to see what happens. Vibration was solved and the I believe the TPS made a great difference in acceleration. Very impressed with 268,000 mile Tacoma. I am now a fan of Toyota and the 3.4L engines.
