My engine is hard starting?

I have the same problem on a '98 Tacoma V-6. Our issue developed after we changed the timing belt, water pump and had the injectors cleaned and re-calibrated. Our rig had 194K on the odometer and prior to this work started on the first crank. The timing is correct and we had the fuel system checked for the (suspected) pressure drop. All was in order. The only thing we figure is an issue with the injectors or perhaps a corrupted gasket in the intake upon reassembly. First cold start in the morning is fine as are subsequent starts when warm provided the vehicle is restarted within minutes after shutting it off. Our problem arises when it has set for 10 to 15 minutes before a restart. Upon restart the atmosphere smells a bit rich. The Toyota now has 218K. By the way it runs smoothly at idle and at speed. Any suggestions?

Check you fuel pressure. Or even go check all the parts with fuel. Fuel pressure. Fuel pump and fuel filter. This was my problem.

I have a 1996 Tacoma 4 cylinder with 94,500 miles on it. When I try to start it it takes a while to start. This is more noticable when it has warmed up then when cold. It starts about 98% to 99% of the time, however when driving it the dreaded check engine light came on. Would the plugs be possibly be causing the slow start/ sometimes rough start? Could that also be the reason for the light? I should not that I JUST replaced the battery and that the truck runs fine once started. The plugs have never been changed. Thanks in advance.

My truck was hard starting cold so I check out the guide to showed me the coolant sensor was bad so I got a new one and installed it it has been great so far, thank you.

My truck misses sometimes when going down the highway and if you give more gas then it
stops. It also stalls sometimes and is hard to start.
Ive installed a new oxygen sensor, spark plugs, fuel
fiter, air filter, Air flow metering devise

My truck seems to be burning a lot of oil and doesn't consistently start. Sometimes it only turns once and she is going and others five or six times over before it starts. I am usually putting oil in every 60-70 miles just a few oz. At a time, but almost a quart every tank of gas. Also I have noticed that the thermostat will randomly drop to cold and then back to its normal level, I don't know if they are related but I was hoping someone else might have an insight.

Cheers,
Austin

Everytime I drive for a long time and I park when I go to work or shopping my truck has a hardtiime starting. Ive changed fuel pump, and fuel filter. I have wait for a few hours. Usually at work.

My 1993 toyota pickup has trouble starting. It takes 3-4 cranks before it fully starts. I have replaced multiple parts, yet it has done nothing. What do you think it is?

I have replaced the alternator, distributor, all new plugs/ wires, and also the starter. I am not entirely sure about the fuel pressure. But this has been doing this the entire time i've owned it. Someone was saying to check the starter relay?

What about the ignition relay? Because the cycling of the switch is not doing anything at all. This has had me stumped for 2 years now. No mechanics seem to know the problem either.
