Question Starting your engine

I am puzzled. When I start the engine- after the car has been sitting at least overnight in the garage: no problem; quarter crank on the ignition and she roars to life. Same thing if she is warm (ie has not had time to cool off after being driven; ie. short stop). However, if she has had time to cool off. Sitting a couple of hours, or all day in the garage - it then requires a full crank for two seconds? If I feather the gas pedal when cranking the ignition, puff of smoke when she starts up?
I don't knwo the last time the valve were adjusted. So that will be a winter project.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated from those who know more than I...

If you have an '88 then you shouldn't need to touch the gas pedal (it's Fuel Injected). Just push in the clutch, hold in the brake, and turn the key.
