Truck doesn’t like starting when warmed up

Im getting about 160 miles to 9 gallons (1/2 tank)

 

That's not terrible (around 18 mpg).

 

yeah not too shabby. But then the next half of the tank is gone quick. I’ll keep you posted on that. I just hit 1/2 tank today.

 

just what injectors did you buy?

If it was not the injectors did you have the old ones cleaned?

So the fuel pressure gauge shows that the fuel pressure does not bleed off?

 

oem Toyota injectors. My local dealer did the work. Have not checked pressure.

 

They will not stand behind work after only 6 months .

Did the new injectors cure the problem if so for how long?

 

Being the parts cannon that I am I’d try a new egr valve https://www.ebay.com/itm/2042672153...4+GAS+DOHC+Naturally+Aspirated&epid=655030556

 

no didn’t cure it at all.

 

Is that for my truck?

 

I believe it is.

 

All dealers are independently owned it is a shame you were treated this poorly.

It is going to be one step at a time one of those up close and in person trouble shooting.

Best of luck!

 

yeah very frustrating. I guess I’ll just have to do things like you said, one step at a time and see if anything fixes my low compression in cylinder 3.

 

It can only be valves or rings .

Any signs of a head gasket failure or cracked head pushing into the water jacket or oil gallery ?

Best of luck!

 

nope. oil and coolant both look great. They looked down in my cylinders and said they look great no abnormal wear. So I’m betting valves.

 

Cam lobes look a little discolored. Do you know what can cause that?

 

I had my truck over twenty years. Twice my truck wouldnt start when hot. Twice it was Fuel pump

 

fuel pump in the tank or on the frame? Idk which one mine has or does it have both?

 

Could be a few things but it comes back to lack of lubrication for what ever reason .

I could go on and on but that is the reason. Might be normal for the mileage hard to tell.

 

With these Trucks one never knows .

Stock the pump should be in the tank.

Many times people go after market and pull fuel through the original pump. Being lazy!

 

What is the clearance on the #3 exhaust valve lobe that is shiny?
