1991 Toyota 4Runner runs like a champ until it dies It sometimes will start immerdiately after other times it takes 15 20 minutes to start any speed this can happen?

Answer 1

yep your electric fuel pump has gone bad. The pump is in the tank and when they go bad they over heat and stop. Once it has cooled off it some times will restart. and some times it will not. It will eventually quit forever. Some times you can restart the pump by tapping on the fuel tank. This is not a permanent fix. You should have it changed before you drive it again

from Dave:

Same thing happened to me ............ended up being a cloged fuel fillter. spend $5.00 for a new filter before spending $100.00 + for a new fuel pump

usually a clogged fuel filter is what caused the pump to go bad. It overworks the pump.
