You have the classic hard hot start problem since when you use the cold start valve the engine will start. The problem will be either or both the fuel accumulater and check valve on the fuel pump. Remove the drain (return line) on the fuel accumulater and if fuel comes out of the accumulater it's bad. If not then replace the check valve on the fuel pump. If you do have to replace the accumulater be very careful not to damage the fuel lines as to replace them you must lift the body! You need the check valve and the fuel accumulater to hold up the system rest pressure when hot so the car will start beacause the cold start valve doesn't activate when the engine is warm-hot.
