I'm asking this for a female friend in our group who recently bought a nice 93' 4runner. I usually hang out in the 40/60 forums so 4runner tech is new to me, but I'm learning. Anywho,,,the rig takes a long time to start when the engine is hot; when it's cold it usually only takes a few cranks. Any usual suspects to check???

is it a v6 or 22re?

[gsdog2]

It's the V6.

[toy4xfun]

there is a lot to check. i would start with the coil and igniter. you need to get a manual and look in the trouble shooting section. a haines is alright but Toyota's has a lot more info.

see if flooring the throttle on hot start helps.

Check the intake hose for cracks & leaks.

(waiting for Wristy to hop in here and say "check your grounds!")

ha i hate being the first to give advise. but a good manual is what any one needs to find problems. and advise from friends and guys on mud.

Good thing you're not then.

Manual, YES, ABSOLUTELY.

Doesn't help for the stuff that's not IN the manual though.

It does help that there's a 93 manual linked in the FAQ thread, and it's viewable online!!!
