1991 4Runner, hard to start when it's warm, and tailgate question

Hi All! I have a new-to-me 1991 4Runner. My late husband gave it to me 4 years ago, but it wasn't running and had been sitting for about 8 years. He was too busy / sick to fix it, and then passed away.

So a retired mechanic in my town got it running for me. It runs great. The only problem is that after I've been driving it or a bit and it's all warmed up, and I have to stop somewhere, it is then hard to start.

I've still been able to start it, but it takes 3-4 tries sometimes. I just thought this was strange. It starts right up when it's cold. Now I'm worried that I will get stranded somewhere. The mechanic didn't know why it was doing that. He has a lot of projects going on, so I hate to bother him with it.

Another question I have, is there a switch inside the cab to lower the tailgate window so I can unlock the tailgate and open the back? I don't have a manual for the car, and via googling I have found references to a switch, but I can't find an actual switch inside the cab.

Thank you in advance! I love this car. It's a perfect Montana vehicle (where I live).

Edit: I can open the tailgate with the key, I was just hoping that I could do it from inside the cab, too. I don't have power windows, btw.

 

The switch is on the console just in front of the armrest.

 

Thank you. I did find it.

Also, the problem starting turned out to be a problem with the fuel pump. Had that replaced and it starts like a champ.

Tomorrow I'm taking it in to get a leak in the rear axle fixed. It also needs a window washer reservoir and a radiator overflow tank. Both are missing. Then I think I'll be good.
