Car won't start when warm...

I've been having problems with my car starting (92 240 w/ SR20) after it has been running for awhile. Anytime it's been sitting for an hour or more it starts fine, but after driving around and the motor warms up, the car won't turn over when I try to fire it. I replaced the starter and still no fix. Any ideas? Not sure if the flywheel could be warped or something but it sucks cause I have to push start the car everyday that I need to run errands. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hopefully this isn't a repost, I searched the forum a bit and didn't see this topic.

Thanks again!

Thats a pretty weird problem. I would think electrical, but you say it starts fine no struggling or anything after it's been sitting?

Yeah no problems at all when cold or sitting for awhile. Sometimes it will even start 2 in a row but after that it just cranks and refuses to turn over. All the electrical is fine, fuel is fine. Makes absolutely no sense to me.

replace your Coolant Temp Sensor and report back. FIY the sensor is by the throttle body. It has a red clip.
