I'm currently still trying to find out the problem with my 6m, Stalling after its started.

I pulled out the fuel filter and started shaking out black sludge? i changed it promblem persisted. I pulled off the cap of the fuel pressure regulator and found the philips adjustment screw popped out, i tried to screw it back in but the screw was stripped..
Then i pulled out the cold start injector? line going to the fuel rail...(14mm banjo bolt on the left of the regulator) the fuel wasnt squirting out...

i dunno, tried everything...any opinions?

nice Ken - always start at the source of the problem - sludge in filter usually means sludge in tank

Sounds like your whole fuel system is plugged up. After cleaning out the tank and lines, you're probably going to need to replace the filter again. And the thing you found the screw in is the pulsation damper. Those screws fall out all the time on toyotas. It won't make the car stall, though. Eventually the diaphram will leak.
