What is your question?
I have a 2000 Tundra truck 2WD, V6 with intermittent engine problems. When started first time in morning (cold), the truck runs and drives great, and will continue to run great until it is shut off. After restarting (engine left off for approx. 10-15 min.), the engine idles rough, and will hesitate and run rough if driving. I have replaced the plugs and fuel filter, but did not help- Thank you for your assistance
How long has your 2000 Toyota Tundra had this problem?
about 2 months

Hello, there are multiple possible causes of your running concern. My gut feeling is that you may have a fuel quality or fuel blend issue. What seems to be happening is a "hot soak" fuel concern -- meaning, fuel vaporizing before being able to be utilized by the engine. This is often due to the quality of the fuel, or a "cold weather" fuel used in warm temperatures, or a "warm weather" fuel used in cold temperatures. Did you know that there are something like 6 different fuel blends used during different times of the year, depending on many factors including on your climate? I would also have a fuel pressure test performed on your vehicle. Fuel pressure concerns could also cause this.
Could be a bad coil, bad crank sensor, a vacuum leak. It's hard to tell without looking at the car and using a scanner to check actual values when the issues is happening. This will require a hands-on inspection or you're just guessing. Use this link to find a good shop near you. https://repairpal.com/repair-shops Alex
