My vehicle has always been reliable until now. After a long journey where engine has chance to really warm up it cranks over but will not start. After cooling it will then start. I suspect plug leads and rotor, but it could be a sensor or ignition issue. I know this question has been asked before but wondering if anyone has a specific issue that is causing this?

Thanks, Phill

Scan for codes and see if it is a crank or cam sensor, also sometimes coolant temperature sensors will cause problems too.

Okay, solved my issue after talking to Toyota mechanic. It was the EFI relay. I was able to "hop" the car back to the house by removing relay tapping it on the road reinserting it then starting back up until it stalled out again. Just ordered the new relay and hope to be back up and running soon.
