    All kinds 3 inch body lift/2 1/2 suspension lift. 31/11 1/2/15 tires All work done by myself for years. The only work performed by mechanic was fuel pumps. I also have a 90 Mustang 350 hp and I can never understand how come my Tacoma gets more respect Just got a 99 Jeep TJ that I rebuilt, and painted in the garage
    Ok I turn the key and wait , wait, wait for it. Slowly struggles to start like its not getting gas. Then it starts. I'm thinking fuel pump so I put one in. Tried it and exact same thing to my surprise. I have a new fuel regulator. So my fuel filter is next. It's only a couple years old so we will see, but any ideas

    Clogged fuel filters tend to affect high fuel flow long before it affects idle or starting.

    I cant believe the price of filters these days. I know its a solid in line but still. No fifty dollar OEM....Duralast with good reviews for twenty
