Next time it won't start, disconnect the temp2 sensor plug and try to start it. If it starts, shut it back off, reconnect the plug and restart it. Your symptoms sound like its flooding on warm/hot restarts. When you get sick of opening the engine compartment and unplugging the temp2 connector, replace the temp2 sensor. Its good preventive maintenance to change that thing out every 3-4 years. Good luck,
