Hey guys,

I cant find any information on this but this is my situation:

2018 4Runner Limited - 100,000KM

-Running perfectly fine before Fuel Pump Recall was executed, consistent start regardless of ambient and engine temp condition.
-Immediately after recall was executed, cold start was business as usual, second hot start had an extended crank start.
-When 4Runner cools down completely to cold start, business as usual start.
-Subsequent and repetitive hot starts produce a variety of results.

I have taken it back to the dealer and they disassembled it to check their work and they said they couldn't find anything wrong and no codes or indication of anything wrong from the computer. They put it all back and said they would talk to a national tech rep and see if there was anything they didn't know about.

Looking for anyone who has had a similar issue, or if this is related to the Recall, or if maybe I got a bad replacement pump? Sensor issue etc?

The truck always starts and runs good, but the long crank is extremely annoying and is likely an indication of some other potential underlying issue.

Thanks folks.

Long crank could definitely be related to the work you had completed with the fuel pump / fuel filter causing a lean condition. If the issues only started after the recall work I would stay on the dealer and let them know you are not pleased with the result and want it further investigated at their cost.

Toyota dealerships are notorious for poor recall work and it will never be put together as well as the factory. I had a different issue with my fuel pump recall. Check engine light and Trac Off light came on the dash after my fuel pump replacement. Getting error codes P0441 & P0455 both related to evaporative emissions system leaks. Went back and they repaired the issue. I believe it was an o-ring error as others have described. Worth reading and adding to the other thread.

Fuel Pump Recall

Hey all,

For everyone, it was a defective fuel pump installed via the recall.

The dealer after a few visits and some convincing finally installed a new one and my 4runner is back to normal.
