   hard starting 4Runner   
   24 Feb 09 18:12:44   
   
   Have a 93 4Runner, since new. Has about 160k miles. Always had   
   maintenance at manual specified intervals.   
    I'm up here in Canada near the end of a cold winter. I'm semi-retired   
   and work Tue, Wed & Thursday.   
   If I drive the truck daily then no problem, starts right away. But if   
   I miss a day or two then it's a bugger to start.   
   Battery is strong. I turn the key, count to 10 then try to start.   
   So two questions please   
   1. Does the fuel pump start pumping when you turn on the ignition or   
   when you turn key to start?   
   &   
   2. It seems as though it isn't getting gas, like its drained away or   
   lost pressure. Is this plausible?   
      
   thanks in advance
