My 05 Taco has done this a few times, but it's so rare that I don't usually care much.
Today, I went to start it after it sat all day at work. The outside temp was around 50 deg F. Upon hitting the starter, the engine didn't catch after about 4 or 5 seconds of cranking. It kind of tired to fire, but didn't and I let off on the starter. I tried again and it caught after a couple of seconds, but ran kind of rough and smelled rich for a few seconds after it started. Normally, the engine will catch the first time with only a couple of seconds of cranking and fire up quickly and run smooth. The truck runs super smooth and strong after it’s running.
So has anyone experienced this? Any idea what it could be? I think I remember some TSB about hard starting, but I though it was just in sub-freezing weather conditions.
