Problems starting

I have a 2000 Solara and after the car has been driven and warm, when the ignition is turned off and try to restart it cranks but has a very low idle and dies. I must wait a few minutes and then it starts fine.
Any ideas...I have the SLE V6.

Thanks.

i have a 99 and i experience something like this. when i turn the key it just cranks put doesnt start. i noticed that when i insert the key slower it stoped doing this. No idea why but my gut says its something to do with the secruity system.

That does not sem to be the problem for me.
I can turn the car off and leave the key in the ignition, wait a min or so then turn it over and it will not stay running.
If I leave the car off for a few mins then turn it over it starts.

Weird....!!

I am having the same problem with my 2002 Solara V6. From my troubleshooting and research, clean the Idle speed control (ISC) valve. Carbon buildup can cause the noticed problems.
