does the engine sound like it's cranking, or turning over normaly? a starter thats going bad will give you problems when hot because of the increased resitance when hot.

You might try checking the fuel pressure, I read it has to be on spec before it'll start...62psi I think.

yeah, they're pretty sensetive to fuel pressure. if the pressure is good and you have spark you might want to check the crank postion sensor. here's a link how to:
