    I have a 04 Taco with the 2.7L.

    I am having a problem with starting my truck.

    When I start up the truck and say drive a very short distance and shut the truck down. If I try to start it again it will sit and crank and crank and crank and then the engine will sputter to life.

    If I drive it a distance and shut down and restart the truck starts up fine.

    So it has only done this when I run it for a few minutes and shut down, restarting it will be a problem.

    I had the upstream O2 sensor replaced but it had been doing this before I had it replaced. Anyone have this problem?

    I did a forum search and can't find a match so I am hoping someone can tell me what they may know.

    Oh and I am a newbie.... :eek:

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Engine Coolant Sensor, perhaps.
