My car decides when it wants to start

[carfanatic89]

well I pulled my dip stick and it smells like gas and I bought the motor from a shop that imports motors from japan it only has 50,000 on it now and when I replaced my camcover gasket I never took the injectors out, I know you need to replace orings. I want to do a fuel pressure test on the fuel rail and the tool you need (sst 09268-45012) is not availible to buy, is there anyway I can take out the injectors and test them out of the car. I think the problem it getting worse b/c now it smelll more like gas when trying to start.

your dipstick smells like gas? sounds like a head gasket or a cracked cylinder or majorly stuffed piston rings. One way to test it take off the oil cap and put hand over it. If you can feel pressure, that's not a good sign. Not too sure if it will work with the dipstick.

But I can't see why that will cause your engine to play up. Possible options are fuel pump or filter, Throttle position sensor, computer is fried, spark plugs and leads, timing maybe out, blocked air filter. But as Suprra Girl said, "do a diagnosis!!!!". But I'm pretty sure your piston rings are stuffed.

sorry doing what I can im in college and paying for everything and my car is the onlything I have worth anything and it will be even more bad ass when I get out but for now I have to fix what I can and keep It on the road. I talked to the toyota intructor at my automotive tech school im going to and there taking it in there shop sometime next week so I hope it will be fixed. They should have all the tools to test it and give me some feedback.

I did another diagnosis on the car and It gave me these 4: O2 sensor, TPS, Vehicle speed sensor, and A/C switch or neutral start saftey switch
