Won't idle when cold
Hello everyone. I have a 97 4Runner 3.4L and when I try to start her, cold, she just won't do it unless I help. What I have to do is push the gas pedal in and hold the RPMs around 3K. The whole time it does not sound normal. After about like 2-3 minutes you hear this "click" and all of a sudden it runs like the day I bought her. If I park it for like 15 minutes and go to start her up again she is just fine. From what I can tell it only happens after she has been sitting for at least 2 hours. This morning I noticed that before there was that "click", and everything was normal, that the exhaust was kicking out a rather larger than normal white cloud of exhaust. But again, as soon as the "click" happened the exhaust went right back to looking the way it has the last 7 years of owning it. Anyone have any ideas of what may be going on??
