i am sure that the instances in which this will help are rare but, here's how i fixed my hot start problem. i dumped some injector cleaner into my gas tank and went for a drive. i wasn't even trying to fix the problem at that time, the car was running a little rough so i figured that some cleaner and a good long ride on the highway would be a good idea. as it turned out, the car ran beautifully after about 25 km and the hot start problem hasn't re-surfaced again. it has been 2 seasons (i only drive the car in the summer time)... i thought for sure i would have to replace the fuel distributor but luckily i accidentally fixed the problem "the cheap and easy way"! it is unlikely that this suggestion will fix your problem but, give it a try.. it may be that your fuel system is all gummed up. :) mike cutting 11434
