Trouble Starting when warm

I think I may have the same issue. I have a 2000 Blazer that starts just fine after it has been sitting for a long time, like overnight in the cold, but it has a hard time starting if the engine is warm.

One of your replies to the following thread mentioned holding the throttle to the floor to help start the vehicle.

I am having a similar issue starting my blazer and it does help to start the vehicle by stepping on the gas pedal while trying to start the vehicle. Otherwise, I have to turn the vehicle over for a somewhat, lengthy period of time to get the vehicle start. Any idea why this is happening only when my engine is hot? Thanks, Rob.

Have you done a fuel pressure test as described in the Tech Article (DIY) section (link in my sig)? It really is the diagnostic starting point if a fuel leak inside the engine is suspected.

BTW, in the future, please keep the questions in the open forum as opposed to through PM. I suspect the reason you did not receive an answer was your choice of threads to ask it in. The thread linked to in your PM to me is much more appropriate.
