    Starts and runs good for several starts, then decides not to start until cold or sometimes several hours. Rotates but won't start.

Check for fuel pressure when starting. Fuel pumps have a check valve in them that keep fuel in the rail at the injectors. If the check valve fails, the pump has to pump fuel all of the way up to the engine. Same thing with hot no-restarts. Fuel pump.

1999 Toyota Tacoma sr5 2.4l won't start back up while I was driving, what can cause this?

forgot to check all fuse first
gas engine, sure
then scan the PCM as it cranks and fails, oops this must be done
all car ran before so what matters is now and only now.
cranks great but will not start has up to 50 cause , both engine and EFI causes.
if the engine is good (IDK) compression tests pass.
then check spark if there is no spark it can not run. or if the PCM
detects spark bad it cuts fuel hard. all cars gas do that.
pure PCM hard coded logic inside.

lots of causes. bad engine, bad spark or bad fueling
even bad fuel or wrong fuel put in the thank or sabotage..
car is 23 years old and cars LOVE to fail that old and for sure not serviced every year. or 60k miles up ,repeat service.
lets say spark is bad this engine uses 2 paired spark coils
called wasted spark if 1 plug nor HV fails 2 slugs go dead, doomed
sorry will not run on 2 cylinders ever.
so put in new spark plugs and the 4 HV wire sets, do them 1 at a time and not wreck firing order, 1,3,4,2
sorry those 2 things do not last 23 years ever, now why Jose'

was the cam chain screaming its guts out for long time? oops
bad act that.
2RZ-FE I4

if scans to not solve this,
check fuel pressure next
by the book.

if the chain fails, this engine is interference and valves bend

My 97 4 by 4 Toyota Tacoma 2.7 is very hard to start it's getting gas it's getting fire I have to pat the gas vigorously but it will start finally. help!

First you will want to check and clean the throttle body and replace any and or clean sensors. The MAF sensor may need to be replaced as well. sometimes a partial fix.. Disconnect the air sensor and it may start easier. Check all vacuum hoses for splits/cracks and loose connections. Replace Throttle body gasket, check or replace cap, rotor and wires if not done in the last 2 years.

2000 toyota tacoma 2.4l wont start when cold

clogged injectors you need to put cleaner in the fuel to help get dirt and grit out of them some times (every 3 months).
I am assuming you are saying it will turn over but not fire and run when cold?
