1987 22RE Hard Start in the morning NEED HELP!!!
Greetings,
I have my beloved 1987 22RE that has a hard start issue. I've scoured this web site and the web in general looking for a solution but it seems no one has my exact problem.
When I start my truck in the cold morning it takes a bit........I've nailed it down to giving it about three quick turn overs and then giving it a good start up......with a bit of a struggle it sputters to life.
After it is started in the morning it starts just fine through out the day......runs like a champ!
I recently did a tune up getting her ready for the dreaded California smog inspection. I changed the sparks, wires, distro cap and rotor, fuel filter, catalytic, air filter and cleaned the throttle body. The hard start got worse after doing all of this. Any suggestions?
I had changed out the cold start valve last year as well when all this started to happen.....it was dead......it helped a little but not much.
Thank you in advance.

Oh sorry, that was the "Cold Start Injector EGR Thermo Switch" that I replaced not a valve.
The difference in the other threads is that others seem to have trouble starting all the time or trouble after their initial start once the vehicle is warm. My issue is just in the morning with no other issues after the vehicle is warm. That seems like a specific issue.....or is there a thread I missed.....I've read through a few.......not saying I read all of them.

Does your issue improve or change if you jump your fuel pump to bypass the AFM? 4crawlers website describes how to do this.
I'm currently having the same issue, but it comes and goes.

Temp-sensitive. All temp-senders AND THEIR MOUNTING THEADS BOTH ON BRASS AND ON BLOCK need to be cleaned AT LEAST ONCE EVERY 30 YEARS
Ask me how i know:

Thank you wallytoo and RAD4Runner, I finally got around to looking at the CSI once again. Did the test and no fuel "spit", looked at the brass bolt and the plug was not seated so no signal The metal clip is missing.........any one know where to get those Toyota clips that keep electrical sockets in?

You mean you solved it?
Forget about the metal clip. They are more trouble than they are worth. Wrap a couple zip ties around it in a criss-cross manner.
