i snooped around a lil but couldnt find. does fuel pump come on?
when u turn key into run? i got a problem, car starts and runs for about 5 seconds, stumbles like it's out of fuel but i topped off friday and drove 40 miles. so i know there's fuel. it's got 20k miles on it so i know it's not the filter.
now i wanna test my fuel but the pump aint comin on when i turn to run. now every other car i know of turns on pump when key in run, for 2 seconds to prime system. but if it doesnt, i need to know. any way, i'm going to mess with fuses and relays, i'll be back in a bit. thanks |

if it is an 08 w/ 20k miles just take it back to the dealership... still under 3 year 36k miles

i gotta get it there first...and they closed, and i dont really have time to. i got 5 kids, work full time, and have about 2 hours a day to get stuff done...and that's between 9 and 11, dealership closed.
but i get your point. bad fuel isnt covered under warranty. so, i'd like to get a sample, and see if it seperates, or if it's even gas. |

Have it towed to the dealer. The dealer should pay for the towing.

actually the Toyota new car warranty covers the tow and a rental during repair.
if it is bad fuel, go to the local parts store and get some iso-heet and a fuel system cleaner best bet is to get it towed to the dealer; relays, pump, ecu, injector or electrical are all covered under the new car warranty.
