Guys,

I know this has been discussed before and the answer appears to be cleaning the throttle body, which I have done. I removed my TB and it's really clean. My throttle body is whistle cleaned, but is there some line beside it or near the throttle body that carbon cab build up in? I have also had the injectors professionally cleaned by the dealer, but I still (at times) experience hard starts as if the gas pedal is sticking. Immediately after cleaning the TB and the injectors, I notice that my gas pedal felt smooth and I was able to accelerate normally, but after a few miles, it's back to hard starts as if I am trying to be the first off the line. I've also changed the fuel filter in case you were wondering.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

 

I stopped by the local Honda specialist in my area that also works on Toyos and swears by a product called BG44. So, I decided to give it a try. Well, acceleration is smooth again, but I am not convienced it's completely fixed as immediately after cleaning the TB and the induction system I got the same results, but after a few miles or a day or so, it was back to the hard starts. I will let you know after a week or month if it holds up that long. Apparently, there is just a little trash or carbon or whatever in the lines somewhere. All of this probably don't matter at this point as next year I plan to install the TRD supercharger, and UDR's fuel delivery system plus larger pulley, and upgrade the injectors. If it is possible to push over 300 HP out of this truck, I am looking to do.
