Warm start issues, Car has hard time starting when engine is warm Options

[John93GT]

Car: 94 GT Manual 300K miles

Situation: When starting the car with the engine warm, the engine will turn over and over and over without starting. If I give the car a little gas while turning over, the car will start up, and then have a rough idle for a few seconds and be fine.

The odd thing is, if I start the car using this method, turn it off, then try and start the car again immediately it will start up with no issues. If I end up leaving the car for 15-30 minutes (I've timed it) then it doesn't want to start. I don't even know where to begin with this one.... Any suggestions?

this seems to be a bug for quite a few owners. if you find anything please post it ASAP. my 99GT is also plagued with poor starts and idleing. it seems to be random and happens at temperature ranges from 0F to 90F regardless if the engine is warm or not. i have done most everything i can find in the archives and the knowledge base to cure it-- replaced battery, cleaned battery terminals, replaced distributor, replaced wires, replaced spark plugs, replaced air filter, cleaned IAC valve and even sacrificed an offering to the Dragon God...still no luck.

appreciatively,
