I don't know enough about these cars to qualify to help you other than to tell you that you are probably experiencing a Hot Start problem, rather than a Warm Start problem (or a Cold Start problem) and maybe it would be better to begin your search that way. My car had a Warm Start issue that manifested itself after the car had been driven enough to get up to temp (220 or so) and then let sit for a couple of hours - it cranked really hard till it finally started; but if I just went into a store and came right out, no problem starting, and in the morning, no problem. I finally solved it by replacing the fuel pump check valve. Having said that, my research taught me that these problems are fairly common and some very smart folks on this board have posted a lot of information about all three.

Might be as easy as a fuel filter.

Good luck.
