     While this may be in fact be a fuel delivery problem, the owners 
     manual actually tells you to give the car a little gas when starting 
     warm. I was quite surprised when I read this having also experienced 
     the long crank start/die symptom when starting from warm, but have 
     found that the owners manual instruction works like a charm. End of 
     problem.
