Fuel leaking, engine won't start

Greetings! New here. I have a 1994 4Runner with the 3.0 V-6 in it. There is a major fuel leak at the rear of the intake manifold on the passenger side. It appears to be coming from a plug in the rear of the manifold, but I have never seen fuel leaking from a manifold. What other components are back there that would leak a lot of fuel? Seems it would have to be something in the supply line to leak this much. There is no fuel getting to the injectors.

Thanks for any and all help!

jewillm,



Off of the top of my head I would suspect the joint at the rear of the right hand fuel delivery pipe and the #2 fuel pipe that connects to the left and right hand fuel delivery pipes. To fix the leak you may have to remove the intake chamber which sits on top of the engine.

Thanks, Jetwhine,

I was afraid of that. Looks like a ton of stuff to remove before even removing the intake. Should keep me busy for awhile.

Thanks for the reply.

jewillm,



The best thing to do is not be in a hurry. Take your time and take lots of pictures. That way if there is a question on how something goes back together you have real life pictures to go by. I do it all the time. That way it gives me plenty of memory bank to think about other things.

Thank you. I will heed your advice.
