95 tacoma with 120,000 miles and for the last 50,000 miles the damn thing dont want to start if the outside temp. gets over 95 degrees. When it does this I have to get her rolling (about a 10 foot push) and jump in and pop the clutch and she is up and running as if nothing is wrong. The only system I have not replaced is the distributor system $$$$$$. Toyota dealers (5 of them)in the western 7 states all tell me they cannot find the problem and they have heard of this in other tacoma’s. If I ever find the problem to give them a call and let them know. ---

I assume that your Tacoma in not under warranty at 120,000 miles, so why are you at the dealer? Find a good independent mechanic and let him or her take a look. Frankly the ignition system including the distributor would have been first on my list of things to check. I believe OK give some advice to another Toyota owner just today a few hours ago. Take a look for that one. OK’s advice is usually right on. ---

you state, you can jump start it, but the key wont get the starter to engage? sounds like the starter, is shot, and the high temps make it not start/engage.
