I have a 98...

When I start the car when it's already warm, it doesn't fire up right. The engine cranks then idles to about 400 RPM then tires to keep firing but dies right away. It all happenes in about 2 secs. It takes me about 10 starts to idle right.

Do these cars have relays? Is it the fuel pump?

It runs fine.
Sure sounds like it running fine
Is there a check engine light on?
When was the last time you replace the cap & rotor?
Try cleaning your throttle body, they get junked up pretty bad, try pushing the gas pedal down & release then start to loosen the butterfly if thats what causing your problem. Following the maint. schedule is a good thing.

yes those cars have relays
