1992 Caravan -hard start -engine warm

1993 Dodge Caravan 3.3 Automatic

Engine starts great when cold. After reaching operating temperature and I turn it off, and let it sit for more than 5 minutes, I have a difficult time starting. It will eventually start after waiting for it to cool.

However, if I start it, warm it, turn it off and restart immediately, I have no problems. This occurs only after it has warmed and been sitting only a few minutes. Then I have a problem.

When it does run, there are no misses and does not stall.

Any idea what could be causing this problem or suggestions.

Thanx

Connect a fuel pressure gauge and see if the pressure bleeds off when you shut it down after it's warm. Should stay near 50 psi. If it decreases, you may have a leak or more likely a bad regulator or pump assembly.
