2004 Toyota Tacoma 3.4L was submerged in water for hours. It was running while in water then died and wont start. Getting spark and fuel to cylinders but has low compression in 3 cylinders. What next?

Check timing belt/condition to see if timing has jumped. Another possibility is cylinder wash down caused by water entering the cylinders wiping away the oil inside the cylinders. This could cause a low compression issue as the rings will not seal properly. You can remove the spark plugs and squirt some oil in each individual cylinder then crank the engine over to distribute the oil inside each cylinder to help raise compression.

2007 Toyota Tacoma v6. Hard to start about 1 hour after initial cold start, longer cranking. Problem?

Is the check engine light on? How long has it been since the engine was tuned up? A worn plug that is "hot soaked" can create a longer cranking time. Hot soaked means it may have some un-burned fuel in the cylinder since the first cold start. A weak or worn plug has a harder time getting this fuel burned out of the cylinder when more fuel is being added during a warm start.

Replace spark plugs as they might have been worn and check the specific gravity of the battery checked. The ignition coil also may be causing the problem.

Start but won't run ??
Have you checked to see if you are loosing spark to the plugs or fuel to the injectors ? Have you checked the fuel pressure at the injectors ?
I would start with that and then proceed.
