I have a 2011 toyota innova automatic 2.0L gasoline

The engine having a hard time cranking , i replaced the car battery and check the fuel pressure , stays at 39 psi stable. But when cranking , it's really hard to start sometimes it fails to start, the starter motor is fine since i just replaced it after a flood .

Please help thanks

you answered your own question probably the ecm is shot due to the flood. cars are junked after being in a flood.scan for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge. you may need an adapter for this however.

The water doesn't flood inside the car , so ecu is ok , and using a code scanner the only code is my abs system has the problem . I have my abs problem a long time ago , no code for engine faults

we don't know model of your car but fuel pressure for a corolla is 44.1-49.7 so your fuel pump is probably bad

It`s toyota kijang innova , rare find tho , fuel pressure in the manual book says should be around 35-44 . Mine has 39 so fuel pump is ok by the results. Or is cause of a bad injectors? I can' t check injectors ????

we have no info on this car so I went with I thought may be comparable. you can test injectors for resistance otherwise you might try a having them professionally cleaned. normal ohm resistance on these is anywhere from 11-16 ohms but Toyota spec may be different which we don't have for that vehicle. try resetting your security system see if that makes a difference it may. if no manual look online. I have no other suggestions.
