I have a 93KA and just last week after driving to school after work, it started up as always, then 2.5 hours later, it cranked about 5 seconds before for it fired up. This is a regular thing now; after it warms up a little, leave it sit and it doesn't want to start. It will but it seems like its not getting gas. I checked distrib and all is fine. Suggestions?

Ok your going to have to be a little bit more specific on your problem. Your car just takes longer to turn over when it's cold outside? If that's the issue start with the battery. Check you CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) If that's not the problem, you might want to check your Starter, Spark Plugs, and Plug wires. Finally there is the Ignition coil. Also realize this, if it is really cold out side this is almost a 15 year old car. So it might need new plugs, Plugs, etc.

If it won't start or keep running; it has to be one of those.

Actually, it starts fine when it's cold or when it hasn't been started all day/ night. The weird thing is, after it's warmed up,and I leave it sit for an hour or more, then it doesn't want to start. The engine cranks well and was tuned up completely about a year ago. After about 5 seconds or so the engine finally starts to catch and I find myself pressing on the gas pedal like the old carbed engines to get it going. I hope this is more clear...
