Hello there. I have a Toyota Town Ace CR27 YOM96 1996CC(2.0L) natural aspirated single overhead cam 8 valve diesel. It has occurred to me that starting my vehicle when the engine is hot after I drive it for some time is difficult. My cold engine starts in a single crank regardless whether the outside temperature is hot or cold. But when I try to start the engine after I drove it for some time and the engine reaching its working temperature it takes long cranks to start the engine. I have driven 150,000 KM and the engine is still in good shape. No engine oil leaks or blown gaskets. I would appreciate any opinions about what caused this situation so hopefully, I can find a solution?
