i having problems with my car after it gets warm. in the morning it runs great, even after it gets warm. the problem is after i shut it off. if i dont let it sit for a few hours it runs like shit. it is real choppy, backfires every now and then, seems to be no boost. if anyone has any clue about this please do tell. if i let it sit for a few hours it runs just fine. thanks

There is a fuel pressure solenoid that supposedly adjusts fuel pressure for hot starts. I wonder if that is malfunctioning. It should be located on the firewall on the driver side. You could try bypassing the solenoid by running a vacuum line directly between the fuel pressure regulator and the intake manifold.
