Hard starts when hot

My sisters 93 8 valve tracker starts great when its cold but when its hot it takes several cranks to fire. But then it runs great. Any Ideas?

Hmmm... possibly clogged gas tank vent lines causing a vapor lock situation, bad engine ground connection, dirty air filter or possibly a defective pick up coil in the distributor...

Does it smell flooded or rich
when it fires up ???

Bad coolant temp sender or
intake air temp sender could
be telling the computer the engine
is cold, and needs more fuel
