Possibilities are: 5th injector flooding engine ignition wire opens when hot coil opens when hot AFC/fuel pump sticks when hot intake leak screws up fuel/air mix aux air reg stays open when hot, screwing up air/fuel mix These are places to check but obviously the engine wouldn't run run worth a darn, if at all, if any of these items were the cause of the problem. But then I've seen some pretty creative work arounds to basic problems... Jack PS -- didn't someone mention a wire that needs to be connected at the starter in the last couple of days? Seems that without it the engine won't catch at all. Possibly this wire makes poor contact at high(er) temps.
