I have a friend with a 92 Toyota Pickup with 4 cylinder 22R fuel injected engine with 200,000 miles and is hard to start. Engine does not burn any oil and good compression. Runs smooth and has plenty of power once started. Has been well maintained and oil changed every 3000 miles.
Any ideas: Dirty injectors? Never have been cleaned I think
Needs new fuel filter?
Faulty or worn fuel pump?
Any ideas will be appreciated
. Thanks steve

I would start looking in those areas as well as fuel pressure. Engine may not be developing enough fuel pres. to atomize the fuel when starting but is to do so once its started. check plugs to see if they are wet and take fuel pressure reading. dirty injectors can cause similar problem(poor atomization)
