I would check your VSV that controls the FPR reference vacuum hose. That VSV is there specifically to mitigate hot-soak starting problems. Its the closest one to the front under the intake manifold. The one at the back is for EGR.
I have not specifically tested the VSV, but I have approximated what it does. My understanding of it is that it basically just opens up the vac line on the FPR to atmospheric pressure. You can do the same thing by simply removing the vac line from the FPR and trying to crank it that way. That did not fix my problem. I also checked for fuel pressure on the return line and there is fuel returning. I no longer think its a fuel supply or pressure issue. But Im not really sure where to look next.
On a more positive note I made some nice progress on my hood today. I got the support structure modified to account for the lift, and was able to get one side mostly completed. Here are a couple pics of the progress.
I cut at the bottom of the cowl from the back to about 9" short of the front.
I then raised the hood 2 inches in the back and 1.5 in the middle. I used sheet metal to brace it in position. Note the right side I already started to bend down the cowl side so the angle would be right.
After making a cardboard template and cutting out the sheetmetal to the shape I wanted, I simply tacked it in position.
A different angle showing how much higher the cowl is.
Another angle.
On my parts car just to see what I think of it. I likey, but I still need to add the extension to the back. Im going to extend the back lip out over the windshield wipers a little.
Its supposed to rain tomorrow so I dont know if I will make much progress tomorrow. But I should at least be able to get the other side tacked in place.
im sorry to hear that man... you'll get over it soon (i went through it myself). Anyway, best bet would be get your injectors tested, and check all your grounds! The injctors might not work when the car is already warm because when cold, they are being aided by the Cold Start Injector and that might be acting as a bandaid for clogged injectors.
