I have a 2004 2.4L Toyota Tacoma with 51,000 miles. The truck starts well when the engine is cold but sometimes will not start when it is hot. It just sputters and you have to wait a few minutes until it cools down a little. I think it is vapor locked. What can I do besides sit and wait for this to happen?

No codes and the check engine light works as it always does only on when you are turning the key. Then it is off.
