I was thinking that the number three injector may be leaking, causing it to flood when it is warm.
If I'm correct then it would explain why it cranks when its cold (fuel has time to evaporate) but it takes a few seconds to start when it is warm (gas leaking in a flooding)
What do you think? Am I on the right track? Would a leak cause the plug to look like I described?
Thanks for any help.

the number 3 injector could be the problem to check after fuel pump shuts down does fuel pressure hold for 5min and if not pull #3plug if wet when engine hot replace that injector. this is how it is described to check in shop manual.....if ok check ect for proper resistance engine temp sensors could cause hard start as well as maf/IAT sensor...
