    Hard to start when hot.

    I'm having a little problem starting the car when it's not.

    The funny thing is that if I drive the car for a long period of time, shut it down and restart it, it will start right away.

    If I let it sit for like 15 to 30 mins, it will not start unless I step on the gas. once it's started it will idle and run fine.

    I think that the ECT sensor might be to blame but i'm not 100% sure. I think I might have a leaky injector since the fuel pressure will drop a if the car sits for 30 mins (I have a gauge on the fuel filter)

    I got an MSD SCI, blaster coil 3 and brand new spark plug wires so it should be fine on this side (unless the coil doesn't like the heat).

    So, what do you guys think?

    That sounds like the ECT sensor to me. My car would do about the same thing until it got bad enough that the computer figured out what was wrong and threw a code 6. For about $20 it would be a good place to start since it's cheaper than most of the other parts that would be suspect.
