3.0 V6 Cold Starts fine dies after warming up

I have a 95 4Runner with a 3.0 V6. It starts fine cold and will run fine until it gets warmed up. After warm up 10-15 minutes it just dies and wont start again until it cools off a bit. However it is not running hot. Them temp guage doesn't work very well so I used a temp gun directly on the engine. It read close to the same temp as my 91 3.0 V6. So I know its not hot at 170deg. on the intake.
Acts like you just turned off the key.

I would start with the coil.... those tend to show problems when hot....
Look for cracks, and white marks on it....then test it cold with the multimeter, then again when hot....
report you findings....

Then, there's coolant temp sensor, air idle control valve, aiflow meter circuit, fuel pressure regulator......

Coil's a good place to start. After warm up? I'd also check the air idle valve and/or coolant sensor.

The primary side of the coil is out of specs. I have one ordered so I'll let ya know if that is the problem.
Thanks.

What's the matter? Are you not able to access the page? IOW, I clicked on the link in your post, but it says link can't be found. But, when I click on the link I posted, it takes you right to the 3vze troubleshooting page.
