I have a 96 Tacoma 4WD with a 3.4 V6. It almost refuses to start in cold weather and still gives me trouble in the warmer months. It acts as if it's not getting fuel. It will eventually start but I don't wanna burn the starter up. It's like a carburated motor. Fuel pump is good filter is good. Once it starts it runs great. Just getting it started is an issue. Any ideas?
