Need some help!

My 98 Tacoma 4cyl sometimes quits on me when I'm trying to start it and then it takes a little while to get started. It seema to do it after I've been driving the truck for a little while.

Any ideas what it could be?

No I haven't done anything yet I'm hoping I can maybe narrow the possibilities before I start spending money and I just bought the truck a few months ago so idk when the last fuel filter was changed

It's acting like it almost floods itself or either not getting that initial spark after I've been driving it and its not everyday but its becoming more often

look at the throttle body too, it could be gummed up
