    Sup guys just got into the mini truckin scene I picked up a 93 single cab yota and it is super clean but the engine has a starting problem. Its fine when the engine is cold but when i drive it for 10-15 mins or so to warm up the engine it seems like the engine is flooding when i try to start it again. A friend of mine said it could be the cold start injectors or something like that. I have to wait 10 minutes or so to cool it down then it starts fine again. Any help would be appreciated love this truck! :)

    sounds like vapor lock...but that is only feasible on a carbrd vehicle

    does it turn over or just dead?

    It turns over but it is definitely flooded I smell gas and if It will start if I let the fuel pump prime and kickstart it you guys think it could be an issue with spark? But it starts when the engine cools
    hmm

    gas tank?

    I don't know if there is water in your gas tank.:confused: If you drained the gas tank and put new fuel in, then it might run better. And put some fuel line antifreeze in there. Also check your battery and alternator.

    Sorry but I got the truck and it had a nearly empty tank I just put in new gas and the previous owner told mr the problem has been ongoing. I don't think the battery or alternator has anything to do with it because like I said it starts fine but won't start after it's warmed up.
