I read your missing on warm engine and it sounds like I should start with the fuel pump.
Still makes no sense why a cold or hot engine would matter when it comes to the fuel pump???



Plugs and wires are cheaper then replacing the fuel pump and yours are really old.
So I would start with this first.

As for the fuel pump, it has to do with heat in the engine bay and if it's not pushing the
proper pressure then what little fuel is there is vapourizing. On a cold engine it doesn't vapourize.
Just my thoughts no real data to back it up.

Are you getting any check engine lights?
Dose it blink and then stay lit?
