Video of hot start problem ()

Hello,

Some background: 1994 Landcruiser Prado 1kzj78 with 208,000km. Owned for about a year now. Back in April-May 2021 we noticed this hot start issue where the engine shakes more violently than normal and takes an extra second or so to fully start. During cold starts and when we start it after 5-10 minute drives are fine, but once the engine heats up the issue comes back. Once the truck is running, no issues at all.

We changed all the fluids, oil and fuel filter, and switched to a K&N air filter. Unfortunately, the fuel filter didn't fix the issue. No noticeable leaks under the truck while on/off.

Has anyone seen or experienced this before? Thank you.
