car might or might not start when cold in calif. after 4 or 5 times just crank. leave it for a short while come back start fine. runs great as long as i leave it running. if i shut it off before operating temp it start 4 or 5 times ok then it will crank & start back firing through the intake manifold and/or stop crank like hydro-lock or firing order not correct. leave it for half hour a little longer and may or may not start. sometimes i can start it with throttle half down. i've checked every sensor & fuel pressure cold & hot all perfect. twice i pulled the new iridium plugs and the engine was flooded. i've pulled the plugs 6 times. I'm stumped! anybody can help I thank you now.
