    Is the fuel pump relay on the drivers side under the dash?

    Replaced plugs, wires, coil plugs, fuel pump, cleaned the MAF, still the same. No codes are being thrown still.
    Dropped it off at Toyota on Monday and they are saying they cannot reproduce the problem. Its Thursday and still no word from them.

    I'll up date you when something happens, or if I trade it in.

    What causes a leaky injector, the injector itself or the controls to it?
