I have a 1992 toyota pickup extended cab, she has a really hard time starting up
My pickup 1992 toyota pickup 3vze 3.0 takes forever to start when its cold, I have to literally crank on it for like 1 hour to 2 hours then it'll start and after it starts it runs pretty good but it feels like it's losing power when I get on it. The guy that I bought it from didn't tell me how long ago the heads and valves were done but he says they had just been done. I checked the cold start injector and that works, I checked the fuel pressure it's got plenty, I've replaced the cap rotor and wires, I don't know how to check the fuel pressure regulator but that works ( it sucks fuel when I crank it over). What do I check, what do I do and what do I buy because I need to fix her asap!?!?

How did you check the fuel pressure and what was the reading?
Because "plenty" could be too much and a possible fuel regulator.
Do you have a FSM?
Did you check to see if there are any stored trouble codes?

Yes.^^^
O.P., if you need help online from people possibly thousands of miles away, you need to help us see what you are dealing with in as exact terms as possible.
To eliminate guesswork, fuel pressure gage piggy-backed on CSI: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f199...l#post52312190
Also, the bestest CSI and CSI timer switch in the world that work perfectly on the bench will not work if they do not get ground on the engine. They get ground from the CSI timer switch mounting thread. All temp-senders and and the thread where CSI timer switch mounts should be cleaned to bare, shiny metal - at least every 25 years

what's a fsm?
I don't have a scan tool but the check engine light stays on when I get it started and drive it.

Fsm =field service manual. It's toyotas repair manual.
I'm not 100% sure on your model and engine but i think checking the engine light is the same as the others
On the side of the fuse box is a small plug with a flip cap, inside the cap it is labeled b+, fp, t, e1. Etc.
if you take a paper clip and jumper t and e1 and turn the key to on position the check engine light will blink your code. A quick Google search or youtube video will explain it fully. Post back with the code you get.

You need to count the flashes on the (check engine light) on the right.
If it flashes continuous then no code it stored.
Watch this short video pretty much explains it.

look at this. I think you have 14 and 24 but you should be able to read that link and figure it out for clarification

They're the same. Toyota isn't going to make it THAT hard for you.

Dude, we can't do everything, It's a simple search, "google" do some leg work.
Your going to have to break the multi meter out and check out your VAFM and the air temp sensor.
You also are need to check the grounds and wiring for damage at the igniter to the ECM.
You really need to get a FSM, you might be able to down load one still.

I dont know the 3.0 but Toyota basically uses the same electrical set up as the 22. I have never had a Cold Start Injector to fail on me. Anytime I have had cold start issues, it is the Cold Start Injector Timing Switch that fails. You can test it using a Factory Service Manual or a Haynes Manual by putting the Timing Switch in a freezer and as it warms up seeing what the resistance readings are.

Thank you everybody I appreciate all the help, y'all are badass. I finally figured out that it the igniter computer next to the coil went bad and it isn't sending the right signals to fire to I have to find a new one.
