Toyota Repair: 95 tacoma wont start when warm, engine cranks, hot weather


Question
QUESTION: could I get those instructions you gave a previous frustrated toyota owner, who had problems starting vehicle when warm.  i have exact same difficulty.  about 15 minutes upon returning to car after been driven in hot weather- turns, but not start.  i wait another 10 or 15- it will start. and starts right up in morning.  I would love it if you can give me instruction for installing relay into to starter?

thanks  -

ANSWER: Which engine does it have, look under the hood on the label then let me know.

QUESTION: 2.4l manual-  yeah after warm and sitting will turn but not start, and than wait 10 minutes and presto.  is my assumption about the relay placement into starter- a viable one?

thanks

Answer
The relay fix is only to correct a starter not engaging on the V-6 engine, since the starter is cranking the engine over this would not fix the problem, there is another problem if the engine cranks but doesn't fire up. Maybe doing a tune up including spark plugs, air filter and injector and throttle body cleaning will help.
