I took it to a shop who knows what they are doing to get it diagnosed. The tech said it probably came from the Toyota dealer tech not disconnecting the fuel and crank it dry to lubricate the engine, before firing it up.

Or simply hold the throttle to the floor while cranking and it cuts the fuel for you. No need to disconnect fuel lines.
