I was surfing the forum and I notice a lot of members talking about morning starting problems. I asked a Toyota Repair man [who once was my student, Sammy]. He told me that the best way to start your engine in the morning is to turn the key. DO NOT TOUCH THE GAS PEDLE. It won't pump anyway, but if it comes to life and you are stepping on the gas pedal, the pedal position sensor will shoot a lot of gas. Let the engine sensors do their job. Let the ECU pump gas with the amount it needs. Also, don't step on the gas pedal until the red oil light goes out. Once the light goes out, then you can gradually accelerate your engine until you bring it up to temp. Your piston rings and your 3SFE head parts will love you for it.
