    I just bought a 2002 and it does the same thing. Have a friend/Toyota tech bringing a tech stream to my house today cause we are all curious.

    I exactly had this happen the night before. Moved car in driveway in morning. Engine started. Ran approx 30 seconds till it shut off. Turned the car off. Sat all day. Evening moved car back in driveway. I think i turned ignition off as engine was starting. Next morning very rough start. Short drive. Started normally next 3 times. Definitely think it comes from a quick start/shutoff. Same as a gas engine. They dont like that either. Fuel evap issue i think.
