cold start time injector switch, first start of the morning is a rough one Options

[brianforster]

so art and i were talking and we both seem to have the same problem, the first start of a morning when its not really cold or not really hot and the car seems to bog out, maybe requiring 2 or 3 cranks and then from then on during the day it fires up first time.

has anyone else ever experienced this with their swap?

art thinks (and i agree) that it is the cold start time injector switch, but that is an 80 dollar replacement from toyota, so if anyone else has had this problem or has any other ideas, id like to hear them.

I find it interesting how you guys have cold start issues.. I removed my cold start system and have no issues .. it fires right up.. however from time to time I'll have hot re-start issues... requiring more cranking than usual.. a little throttle play helps it..

if you have to crank your car more then once, under any temp condition, then thats because of the time switch. on my car, i would start fine in the winter, but have to crank it a few times in the spring. replacing the sensor fixed the problem.


6gsillyca..... unplug the harness plug. then use a wrench not a wrachet to unscrew that sensor by the metal base. do it when the car is cold, or you will burn yourself.

But that time switch is for the cold start injector... which I don't have...
