Hot Start Problem

I have a 87 turbo that doesn't want to start when hot. I have checked the fuel pump pressure and it has a new air filter. What else should I look for? The car has 105,000 miles and runs well although the idel isn't perfect and drifts (AC causes the idel real problems) I try to adjust the BAC and the engine doesn't seem to respond.

Sounds like your motor is low on compression.
I would first do a compression check; if it’s low you need a rebuild.
Your other problem could be you have leaking injectors.
You could also check out the FAQ section as well to troubleshoot the problem accordingly. Good Luck

+1 on a compression check.
I had hot start issues a while back, it turned out that the connections for my water thermo-sensor was loose, stuck it back in and problem solved... hopefully it's that easy for you, and not low compression
