Question Rx7 wont start hot, and just started to feel boggy...whats wrong??

Hi I have a 88TurboII Rx7.
First Problem:
The car started up fine and ran well, but now after the cars been warmed up it doesn't want to start. So I looked up on here to see if there was anything that I could do, all I could find was "Q:Car wont start how do I?" "A: Pull out that one fuse to start it." That works, but what can I do to fix???

Second Problem:
I know my TPS needs some adjustment because my car rpms drop and rev a little high from time to time. But today I punched it going onto freeway and it hesitated alot and after that it kept feeling like it was bogging down and wouldn't really accelerate and my air/fuel gauge was working when I had my foot lightly on the pedal but when I gave any more gas then just feathering it, it would be boggy and slow. Could it just be the TPS sensor or whats going on??

Any input is appreciated! Hope its not bad compression

Hot start problems are common. There are many causes, but they all boil down to the car not being in good tune. Start with a full tuneup. Have the injectors professionally serviced. Check compression first though, because this problem can also be a low compression issue.

When you accelerate does it only hesitate if you accelerate hard or will it still hesitate if you slowly accelerate?

Usually if it hesitates both times its an electrical issue (spark plugs, rotor button, etc) but if it only does it on hard acceleration its most likely a fuel issue.

The bogging would be related to the hot start issue, and is often a problem of the TPS not being set correctly.
