How does the cold start injector work on a Toyota?

How does the cold start injector work on a Toyota?

The cold start injector most certainly works at temperatures above 32deg. The cold start injector time switch provides a ground circuit for the injector that allows the injector to spray fuel during cranking to help start the engine. The time it allows the fuel to spray is based on what the temperature is.

The cold start injector, also referred to as the cold start valve, is an engine management component found on many road going vehicles.

When do you use a cold start injector?

Electronic cold start injectors, sometimes referred to as cold start valves, have been in use by Bosch and other fuel injection makers since the early 1960s. They are there to provide cold-start enrichment by injecting a small shot of fuel when the ambient temperature is low (usually below about 55 degrees).

The cold start injector, also referred to as the cold start valve, is an engine management component found on many road going vehicles.

Where is the cold start valve on a Mercedes?

Most cold start valves are in the intake manifold somewhere. The Mercedes V8s usually have the valve on a separate extension near the left front of the engine along the pipe that carries the idle air. Volkswagen and Audi Cold Start valves usually reside at one end of the manifold.

How to replace the star injector time switch?

To replace the star injector time switch, drain the coolant, unplug the switch electrical connector and unscrew the switch. Be sure to coat the threads of the new switch with Teflon tape to prevent leaks.

Why does my Toyota Prius keep hard starting?

Well, after doing a lot of thinking i finally figured out my OUT OF THE BLUE HARD STARTING. It was my Fuel Pressure Regulator. At first i thought it was my ignition coil because the hard starting was intermittent and i ran a test on it and the Primary Resistance was way off spec, but the Secondary Resistance was spot on.

What should I do if my Toyota 4Runner wont start?

You probably need new starter contacts, its a pretty comon issue and its really easy to change them out, it actually takes longer to pull the starter than it does to change the contacts. 1997 3.4l SR5 5spd 4WD E-locked.

How does a fuel pressure regulator work on a Toyota?

As soon as the key moves to the run position there is no longer a power supply to the injector. The fuel pressure regulator is a spring loaded valve that allows fuel to return to the tank once the set pressure is reached.

Can a bad fuel pressure regulator cause flooding?

Unless it is leaking. then it can cause flooding. But usually if that is the case, setting overnight it would usually start OK, because the fuel would have mostly evaporated and dissipated by then. You may also have a weak fuel pump so then a bad fuel pressure regulator would be that much worse. IF everything is OK now then let it be.

What causes a Toyota car to not start?

Battery – If the connections on your battery become corroded, there is no longer a connection to the rest of the car. This can keep you from starting. Clean the posts and try to start the car.

Why does my ttora not start when hot?

If I start it when cold or not up to operating temp it fires right away. I’m just thinking that the coolant is leaking back from the hot head to the coolant temp sensor, heat soaking it and causing it to run a rich start up. I’ve checked the sensor and all the resistances seem to be within spec.

Where is the STJ pin on a 1987 Toyota 4Runner?

Owners of 1987’s, when you get a chance, pls check is you have a wire connected to STJ pin of your ECU and let us know what color. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS MISSING THE MOST CRITICAL SPEC: RESISTANCE BETWEEN STJ AND GROUND.

Why does my car not respond to the gas pedal?

Electronic throttle controls module faults are one of the most common issues when dealing with a unresponsive gas pedal. This is a sensor that reads how far you have pressed the gas pedal down and outputs that information to the computer which controls the throttle. This information is also used in computing ignition timing and other components.

Before you can properly diagnose a problem you need to have at least a decent understanding of how what ever it is works. The cold start injector most certainly works at temperatures above 32deg.

Why is my cold start valve leaking so much?

He said its my cold start valve and that alot of 22re engines have this problem. He told me that the valve would get weak over time and start to leak constantly because even when you shut the engine off you still have 40psi of fuel pressure in the lines. That combined with a leaking valve = starting problems and flooding out.

What was the problem with the Toyota 22RE engine?

There was an internal bulletin for Toyota factory technicians back in the mid 80’s about a similar issue with 22RE engines. The issue was an internal programming problem with the ECU.

What should I look for in a 22RE engine?

I get dozens of calls every day with people trying to diagnose various issues with their 22R / 22RE / 22RTE engines. Everything from hard start issues, rough idle, mis-fire, lack of power….blah, blah, blah. Since there are a few hundred things it CAN be, I recommend starting with the basic stuff first.
