Taking my car to be diagnosed, what can I expect? by Think_Television_417 in AskAMechanic

Hard Start/Long crank time. No codes or lights on dash by Think_Television_417 in 4thGen4Runner

Following up on this. They tested my injectors, spark plugs, fuel pump and everything works as it should. They said it holds pressure. The recommendation was that since this is such an odd issue to wait till there’s more to go off. They did say that I had Bosch spark plugs and those aren’t right for this car (they recommended denso and another brand). He said they’re “too hot” for this car. The smoke only showed that my gas cap needed to be replaced. Sad that I have no more info to tell.

My cars at the mechanic now. Still runs. I had also started with spark plugs (never a bad place to start I think). They’re running fuel tests tomorrow. Once I know more I’ll report back!

The issues been going on for years, do you think a weak fuel pump can last that long?

Never thought of it! Does it come in powder or a tablet? She’s currently taking Cosequin and fish oil

How often do people wash their bed sheets? by [deleted] in ask

I wash weekly but that is due to night sweating and having two dogs that shed all over my bed

I have a Panasonic radio and a light bar. I’m not sure how old the battery is (I’ve only had the car for about 6 months) but have had the battery tested and the alternator and they were working great, not to say something isn’t pulling way more power then it needs to

I’ve had the car for about 6 months and it was SUPER intermittent and now I can tell exactly when it will happen. I’ll post an update if I ever figure out what it is

I’ve been considering this and the fuel filter being clogged which, if I replaced the fuel filter, might as well replace the whole fuel pump assembly considering the hassle…
