1998 GS300 with stock 2JZ-GTE
Recently had fuel sensor gauge broken and replaced with old junkyard part. That gauge stopped it from starting until junkyard part placed in. Start immediately, then after a day and a half of sitting the car would not start.
Disconnected the junkyard gauge and reconnected. The car still would not start.
Changed out the spark plugs and found leak in valve cover gasket. Redid the gasket. Car starts but won't stay on.
Fuel pump sounds like it is collecting the fuel.
Cleaned the mass air flow sensor, checked the fuel relay, checked coil packs for sparks, and checked intake.
I ordered a new fuel sensor gauge but will take a few days to come in. Could that be the issue or do I have a problem with the fuel delivery? I also took the time to order a new fuel filter (not the screen on the fuel pump, the larger black one below). Could it just be a clog in that? Or is there a possibility of blockage in the line?
Looking for suggestions and advice.
