sounds like leaky injectors

hook up a pressure gauge, with the car on, and turn the car off.....watch what the pressure does

Then, when you go to restart the car, continue to watch the pressure. If the pressure comes up just as the car starts, check the fuel pump relay.

Interesting!! Now, mine takes a couple (3 to 4 ) seconds to start COLD. It starts fine when its up to temp tho. I wonder if this could be the same type of problem? Are there any other possible problems to check that might be a bit easier. I tend to troubleshoot with the easiest thing first.
