1996 tacoma pickup 4 cylinder, 5 speed.
when the engine gets warm and you stop somewhere for a few minutes the engine will not crank, just turns over and over.Starts great when cold and runs great allways.Toyota mechanic checked fuel pressure and said it was fine. He is thinking maybe crank sensor, or module in the distributor
Anybody got any ideas
same problem here. my 97 tacoma 3.4l is very hard starting after running for a while. it starts eventually but cranks forever. first i thought it was vapor locking so i replaced the radiator and the fan clutch. but problem is still here. maybe its a sensor? i am lost at this point. my dad thinks it is the crank position sensor. any suggestions need some help here

This worked, thanks joe.
I'm the 10% that the new temperature sensor did not work. What did work was leaving the temperature sensor disconnected. Then a second superior solution that worked was to add a 100 ohm resister in series with the temperature sensor. This makes the electronics think the air temperature is slightly cooler than it is. Because the electronics checks the air temperature with the coolant temperature, I think what is really happening is increased resistance in the coolant sensor wiring. But for the past several months a 100 ohm resister solved the problem.

Could be a oil pressure switch not letting the ignition fire because it doesn't detect enough pressure.
