My 1996 Toyota Tacoma with V6, manual transmission and 4WD has a problem with idling when hot. It almost always occurs after I drive for a bit, shut the engine off, then restart it. At this point the idle speed is very low and it will die if I don’t keep the engine speed up by using the throttle. The check engine light is not on. Any ideas? Thanks
