I ran my tacoma 04 dry for about 15min it over heated i then quickly turned it off cold down add water now it won't start it cranks but won't start did i cracked the engine.?

SOURCE: Hard to start when engine warm

crankshaft sensor may be going bad

SOURCE: dryer starts drying and thinks clothes are dry, but they aren't

Check the timer, and the sensor. Sounds like it is having a problem with the timer or sensor no noticing that the clothes are still wet. Please rate if satisfied. Thank you
