2008 warm start problem
Always starts cold or after sitting 30 minutes. Cranks but doesn't start 2nd or 3rd time after quick, short stops.

Could be a failing fuel pump.
If having the right tools can check fuel pressure. An OBDII scanner with Toyota code reading capability might show up something. Replacing the pump is a DIY job. One can get the complete housing assy which would be a remove and replace the task or just the pump which would need to be installed on the housing assy. Not a big deal but more effort.. |

Maybe yes, maybe no. Could be the fuel pump has become weak. The fuel pressure regulator connected located at the pump could have problems plus there is a check valve to prevent pressure bleed down.
Have someone try to start the car hot while you sniff the tailpipe for signs of gas odor. Could be a leaking injector causing a flooding condition. Do NOT depress the gas pedal when starting engine as the engine should start fine without doing this.. The engine computer has a sensor to tell it coolant temp. The sensor could be having problems and sending the wrong signal to the computer. Here an ODBII scanner could read the sensor temp. |
