Similar problem, won't start when hot.
OK, almost the same problem as the '89 only I've got an '87. 51,000 miles, car starts right up cold, runs real strong. After shutting down it will crank for about 10-15 seconds and finally starts after pumping the pedal. There was no sign of anything happening before this began, it just happened one day. The engine is completely stock, no modifications, auto. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

RACE ON!!!
PS. Pumping the pedal shouldn't do anything, with EFI.

Pumping the pedal won't as CFI-EFI stated, but, holding the pedal down while cranking will throw the computer into "flood mode" which should allow the engine to start...if, the problem is flooding caused by leaky injector(s).
