I recently purchased a 1999 Land Cruiser with 162k miles. It is in pretty good shape. I have had it a few months and it has fired up every time. In the past week I have had a problem starting it. When I go out after it has sat for hours it will fire up every time. If I stop and try restarting immediately or within 10-20 minutes it will crank hard but won't fire unless I give it gas. I have to hold down the pedal for a minute so it won't die and then it will catch and run fine. As soon as it idles ok, if I look under the hood, it smells like a lot of gas.
At first I though it was the immobilizer until I realized it would start while holding the gas. I ended up checking fuses, and keys, and relays before holding down the gas pedal worked. I checked hoses for cracks and can't find any. What else should I be looking at? I have searched a bunch on the forums and don't see too many people with this specific issue as compared to the key/immobilizer issue.
Also what relay clicks under the passenger glove box when starting? It seems pretty loud and I am not sure if it is related.
