>>>*Morning!

Sorry I am being slow here, I have been out underbrushing some stands of trees, "only" about 150 acres left to go....

I finally got smart and got myself a crew..of women...really!

*Heehee.

*Slow to start, opening the throttle seems to delay?

Step one is mixture, clearing overnight suggests rich to me. I assume you have done the "Hold her to the floor until she starts" trick? That should clear rich, if it doesn't then forget what I just said.

Next I would be thinking bad connection to the injectors like has been suggested. Maybe a cold start circuit no working?

Honda does that when the rollover valve to the fuel pump is acting up, never heard of that with a Toyota but maybe? If she turns out to be something like that I want to know what and how it's fixed, we have another one doing exactly the same thing. Then we had one that didn't want to start, even spit back once in awhile, easy one there, valves too snug. Oddly stone cold she would fire right up, but wouldn't hot.

I think I would be checking the fuel pump voltage when she is cold, then doublecheck to see if it is different when the symptoms show up.

Heat soak can cause odd reactions.

Holler if you figure it out.....I am back to the brush again.......*EB

EB, thanks for the response. Been tied up with my 93yr old mother in the hospital...she'll be ok but the shuttling back and forth and trying to get my job done at work has had anything else on the back burner.
I checked the resistance of the cold start sender cold and it was within spec. I did not check hot(yet). Resistance of the cs injector itself was ok too.
I swapped out just about everythig electrical with my spares from my parted truck... coil, igniter, cap, rotor, wires, FI relay, and mass air unit.
Valves adjusted, timing checked.
Don't see a vacuum leak(carb cleaner and propane check)
new update..over the last two days it now starts hard after the overnight... getting worse...
If the injectors are leaking, should the overnight dissipate the gas?
Looking at pulling the injectors, getting them reconditioned and do the solder job on the injector wiring. Does not look like a big deal to pull and replace the injectors?
Your comment: 'I assume you have done the "Hold her to the floor until she starts" trick? That should clear rich, if it doesn't then forget what I just said.'....
For fuel injected motor? I thought that was a no no for FI starting.

If you a customtacos.com member www.paradiseracing.com offers injector cleaning for 10$ each. I got mine done there, they're in the mail back to me. Much cheaper than other places i've looked.

I want to squeeze off the return line from the fuel pressure regulator. The rubber fuel line seems very dry and hard. Should I not be worrying about damaging/cracking it? Anyone done this with original rubber and not harmed it?
