ajg193 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 So my 1995 Hilux has a little issue that I find somewhat annoying and I'm sure someone on here would have encountered this sort of issue before. 3Y-E engine. Base timing set to 5 deg BTDC, plugs in good condition. Here's what happens: Engine starts after the first compression when dead cold and when hot or when just turned off. If the ute has been sitting for between half an hour and 3 or so hours it takes a couple of seconds worth of cranking and then it catches, stumbles for a second and then runs fine. What could be the cause of this? A leaky injector? Some shitty warmup routine? I replaced the fuel pump and filter when I first got the ute (filter was clogged and pump died), so those can probably be ruled out. The ute runs absolutely perfectly when it is running and gets reasonable enough fuel economy. Thanks all. Note: I'd ideally not go around randomly ripping out the fuel injectors and cleaning them, they are the older multi-part design that tends to start leaking out of the housing if you so much as look at them wrong.

BlownCorona Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Serious question. It's a 95 hilux that sometimes takes a couple of seconds to fire, why even waste your time thinking about it? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more just one of those annoying things that would be nice to fix if it is something simple 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 have no proof, but have heard of separate water temp sensors just feeding the ecu doing weird things. back when my 18rg was running on the stock ecu it would do a weird pulseing rev. we decided it was probably something like a weird sensor and it would disappear once the megasquirt when on, which it did.

HighLUX Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Unplug the cold start injector on the inlet manifold to see if it makes the problem go away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 I don't think it has one. It's the MAP based system. I'll take a closer look though in case I missed something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Iv had a map 3y with a cold start.... If it does and unplugging the injector fixes it the problem is the cold start temp sensor, if it doesn’t have one for some reason then the ecu coolant temp sensor is also the problem otherwise you got leaky injectors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 E1 TE1 it with a paperclip SST too, see if it throws any codes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 Can't see any cold start injector, parts diagrams don't list one either as far as I can tell. Bridging the terminals just gives a steady flashing of the check engine light, a little faster than indicators. I haven't been able to find a repair manual for 3Y-E so I don't know if that is normal operation or not. I only ran the engine for a few seconds as I wasn't taking it out for a drive. CEL was doing the same with engine off and ignition in on position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
