hard to start when engine is warm 200

The problem I have had was a bad fuel check valve.
This valve is located at the fuel filter, right after the filter (on the side going to the engine). The spring on mine falls off as I remove it. When this check valve is bad, the pressure (residue fuel) between the valve and the fuel regulator loses. This takes longer to start the car because it needs time to build up pressure again. When engine is cold, the cold start valve helps it start quickly.
Hope this info helps someone.
