i have a '93/ 2.3/ 4cyl ( 8 spark plugs ) mustang. Will start when cold but when gets to operating temp ( warm ) and shut it off it won't restart. If i let it sit and get cool then it will restart. Can anyone help me on this? Puzzled.

Have you tried pulling for codes?

There are lots of reasons that could cause this. One that is in my mind imdiately.. the ECT sensor. Make sure it is good and plugged in.
