Angry STILL wont start!

I am having a problem similar to the ones I've been reading.(I have searched) My car starts fine when cold but after it warms up it wont start. The difference is it wont start 2 seconds after shutoff. I have a fuel cut switch that gets it started, but I was wondering what all could be the problem. I just got my injectors back from RCeng, my compression in both rotors is around 105psi, I also have new wires & plugs.
The car otherwise runs/idles perfectly.
Thanks

From what I've read it seems the most common problem associated with hot starting is leaking fuel injectors or low compression.

Also most people say that there car wont start after 5 to 10 minutes. Mine refuses to start immediatly after shutdown. I have tried many things to try and solve this problem, the fuel cut switch gets me by, but I am curious to find the source of the problem.
Thanks

try using your fuel cut switch to turn the car off, and see if it still does it...

I turned the switch off while it was running, it died, tried to start it right back but it wouldnt start.....seemed flooded.

However I have found out that I can press the gas pedal half way and click the starter and it will start......most of the time anyway.

maybe your plugs are nasty.. when's the last time you looked at them/replaced them? Every time your car gets flooded the plugs get a bunch of crap on them, over time it can build up and make your car run shitty/be hard to start.

I just bought new NGK plugs and new NGK wires. They only have about 50 miles on them, I will remove the plugs and see how they look.
Thanks

Generally when I try to start the car warm it will hit once and thats it, then it doesnt hit again untill I use my switch or press the gas down.
It doesnt smoke upon startup it only puffs sometimes when I change gears.

OK, I removed the plugs and they were all firing the same. All 4 were covered in a black dry residue which looked mostly normal, maybe a little darker than usual..... Running a little rich?
The plugs have more like 150 miles instead of 50. Anyway I cleaned them and put them back in, test drove, no change. I also checked the timing which is OK and the TPS seems adjusted right. Any more ideas?
Thanks
