About how warm does the car seem to get? How long has it been doing this? And this is after every time you drive, even if it were around the neighborhood? Can we rule out flooding?

Can you drop-clutch start it every time? I had a similar problem, cleaned the water temp sensor, AFM plug, and put my fan shroud back on, haven't had the problem since. It wouldn't start after the engine got warm, and I was not even able to pop the clutch and get it started, I just had to wait..

Plus the temperature went from about 104 degrees outside to about 84, that might have a bit to do with it.

it been doing this for about a month now. if the car gets to operating temp it does it. it could be flooding if an injector is stuck open but i dont know y it would only happen when warm. if i drop the clutch itll start. ill try to clean those and go from there.

its normaly caused by low compression. Do a compression check and see whats the health of the engine, from my experience when the engine is warmed and the compression is less then 80, it will have trouble starting. Most of the time it will flood.
