86 toyota 2WD 113000 mi.
Starts fine when cold but stalls and will not idle when warm. Also left me beside the road last time I drove it. Would start but would stall out like it wasn't getting enough gas when I tried to drive away.
I only drive this truck 3, 4 times a year. it stays at a camp. But it is started regularly.
Thanks.

Sounds like you have to do some basic tune up stuff after all it sits and deosn't go any where. Check all the common items like fuel filter. plugs, air cleaner and most important have fresh good gas in the tank. Gas does spoil after about a year--don't let it go too long or you will have major problems. Good Luck

Perform a basic tune-up: check the fuel filter, spark plugs, and air cleaner, and use fresh gasoline because old fuel can spoil.
