Subject: TOY: No starting on 3.0 v6

| Here is a good one...
|
| I have a 88 toyota 4-runner with the v6. When it gets cold out (20 or colder),
| the truck will not start. It will crank and crank and crank, but no go.

==> Possibly moisture / ice in the distributer cap?

After it warms up (25 or more), the truck will start right up. Any ideas.

==> Hey Lee,
have you tried trouble shooting the Cold Start Injector?

It did this to me 2 years ago, but never did last winter. Now this winter it is
doing it again... My thoughts where possibly water in the fuel, but you think at
even 30 degress the water would still be frozen?

==> Lee, I would suspect something in the ignition system.

Thought possibly the cold start sensor, but I didn't have a problem
all winter until 2 weeks ago.
Any ideas??? Thanks
==> HTH
