My 97 4runner has 3.4 v6 5spd and is 4wd with 255000. Bought it in February and have driven daily since.

Often when warm it would take a little longer to fire. Say 1 second when cold and 4 seconds when the engine was warm but hadn't just been running.

Well fast forward to this week and the hot weather and it is taking considerably longer to fire, probably around 5-10 seconds when engine is cold unless the truck was just shut down.

Any suggestions on where to start given the symptoms? Need any further testing to give advice just let me know and I'll do it as soon as I can and report back. Thank you.
 
Also I was getting an evap code after filling up and after replacing a slightly cracked gas cap it has yet to come back on but figure it's worth noting.
 
Evap code came back this morning after starting for work. Seems to be a common issue not related to the hard start though
 
Still dealing with this anybody have any suggestions
