will not start warm
1990 6sp starts and runs great, when warmed-up (temp stays at 160) will not start,let it sit and it starts right up had it out last night for a run with friends ran fine up over 100 mph but ever time we stopped we had to wait for me to cool down to go i do not like being afraid to drive it ,it takes some of the fun out it.this is what i know, new ecm, fuel pres. around 40,have spark,idles around 1100 if we turn it down to 800/900 where i think it is suppost to be it kind of idles rough up and down a little so we put it back to 1100 rpm.also at the end of the night on my way home it shut down on me for a split sec (light and everthing when moving down a back road)like a little gremlin ,freaked me out but kept running fine the 4 more miles home, like clock work it did not start once home in the garage.also no major mods on car i had it for 1 yr 106000 miles i put on about 1000.thanks for any help i don't want to keep feeding her parts just for the heck of it

You are going to need to have the car scanned and check out the Coolant Temp Sensor. I acts like a choke on a carb, and if it goes bad, it will send the wrong info to the ECM (computer) and the ECM will flood the engine w/ gas.

Diagnostics were clean. No codes. Turned out to be 3 bad injectors. Replaced all 8. Hot start problem gone, power is back and it idles much better.
