You might check the FPR (Fuel Pressure Regulator) Solenoid.

FPR solenoid is the last one in the rat's nest, closest to the firewall.

how many miles do you have on the rebuild? mine was doing that too (although not real bad), but it eventually went away as my milage increased and the seals set.

Have you checked the fuel pressure regulator itself?

Try starting the car (when it's hot) with holding the gas pedal to the floor. See if it starts a lot easier -- make sure to let off the gas quickly when it starts. If it does start a lot easier, definitely investigate the FPR.
