hard start in hot sun only???????

allfaup1 · 07-18-2009, 01:58 PM

posted in wrong section earlier!! like it says my 2001 tacoma 3.4 motor 5spd truck starts then sputters and eventually dies after the truck sits in the hot sun aprox 88-90 degrees. if its in the garage or shady cool area no problem. could drive 4whelin and engine get kinda hot turn it off and start it up no problem. only if it sit in the sun for a while. WTF???? no trouble codes, cleaned maf it was a little dusty did not have a chance to see if that was the problem yet it has been raining

it has the trd 2nd gen S/C and the whole urd 7th injector kit.Another problem i had with urd under drive pulley was sometimes under load truck would sputter and jerk pretty violently i would pull off highway turn truck off and start again and it would be fine. 1 time it did it and i kept feathering gas pedal and backfired threw off S/C belt and then it ran fine. Its almost as if someone is sitting in the hood playing with main pwr wire. all wire connectins R good. think something to do with piggy back computer from urd when truck is boosting?? could be related to first problem?? ever since i put back stock pulley its fine. was runing under drive pulley for 8 monts no prob til now?? can anyone give me a direction to look in???? WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT !!! If not i will pull entire supercharger and go TURBO!!!

It wouldn't be a bad idea to look through the FSM on how to test the MAF. You may have destroyed it and it's not telling the difference between cool weather and hot weather

Thanks all for the help and no thanks for THE WISE ASS REMARKS !!!!!. now that being said. someone told me earlier to try and clean the MAF so i did and did not have the chance to park my truck in the sun because it has been raining in HAWAII. Also the problem has been there before i tryed cleaning the MAF. It just started happening more often in the hot sun for some reason. I appreciate your help and i guess some people can HUMOR me with your DUMB remarks!!!!!! (79coyotefrg)
