my runner starts up everymorning, and almost every time. it will NOT start if i drive it for longer than 10 minutes, then if i try and start it within about 2-5 minutes of turning it off, it turns over, but wont start. but if i leave it for about 5 minutes it starts up no problem. ive been told many things that it could be, but i dont wanna start buying a bunch of parts and replace them and have the problem persist. ive been told that i could need an ignitor since many hondas have this problem and thats how they fix it or it could also be a fuel pump because my idle starts to go lower and lower as it sits idleing until it just dies. this is over about a 15 minute time frame, not suddenly.

i made my own thread as i have never heard of any other yota having this problem so any advice would be appreciated.

its a 91 4runner 3slow 5 speed.

 

first thing to do is when it wont start pull a plug and see if u have spark, if not then go that way with the fix, do u smell fuel as u are trying to start is or no? it has to be one of these things, as for your idle lowering it self could be vacuum leak somewhere that causing that, but just my thoughts,

 

i do smell alot of fuel when its on and idling. not sure if it smell it while starting.

 

so when its running u have a strong odor of fuel? if so i would see whats causing that, injectors clogged and not closing all the way or cold start injector not working right, also next time it does not start when u are trying see if u smell fuel as u are trying, are u getting any codes ?
