Check your fuel pressure with key on and engine off it should be 60-66 psi.If it is below 52 psi it will not have enough pressure to open the poppit valve inside the injectors to allow fuel thru.

    OOPS Sorry your truck must have the throttle body injection system so your fuel pressure should be 9-13 psi with the key on engine.If its not within these specs then more than likely your fuel pump is the culprit.

Engine hard to start after sitting

Sounds like it could be a carburator issue. Fuel could be leaking out of the fuel bowl or back to the fuel tank. You can tell this if you have the breather off and *before trying to start the engine* operate the accelerator arm on the carburator as you look down into the carburator. If the fuel hasn't leaked back you should see it shoot some fuel into the carburator. Also could be a fuel pump problem where the pump lets the fuel leak back and there isn't fuel there to pump up to start the engine when it's cold. Also the 360 wasn't released until 1971 so it's pretty safe to say it's not a 1967 or not a 360.

I have a hard start problem with a carburated 1988 toyota corolla fx, 1.6 SOHC. When it's cold, it starts right up without me even depressing the accelerator. But once it reaches operating temper

If this is the model with the variable venturi, it has a little green vacum box claped under the air filter box, theyplay up a lot, results in bad starting, bad idle, or stalling.

Hope this helps

It is hard to start most of he time. You have to

The type of gas should not matter. Is it carburated or fuel injected? I would say either a bad injector or if carburated something wrong with that

Truck starts, but has a hard time staying running. smells like gas under hood and smokes. could my carburetor be bad?

I wouldn't say that the carburator is bad, but it may have some defective components in it, like a sticking float or leaking gasket. Can you see any fuel leaking in or around the carb? You can purchase a carburator rebuild kit at most autoparts stores. You must have the right number for the carb. There is usually a metal tag attached under one of the bolts that hold the carb to the throttle body that will have the number on it and sometimes it is stamped on the carburator body. Before you dig into the carburator, however, check for more mundane causes, like a faulty or fouled spark plug. Hope this helped and best wishes.

Hi There,

If your car was running good and suddently it became like this and getting then I think your car either having a carburator or fuel injection problem. If it is a carburator I sugess go to shop for carburator cleaning and check for leakage, if it is a fuel injection then replaced fuel filter and one of the fuel injection cleaning stuff in gas tank for cleaning those fuel injection......
