Hot restart problem - 940 GL - Next steps? 900 1992

Hello again. This is the advice mooch. I posted a question here a while back and had some experienced people chime in and I much appreciated the replies. The problem was a difficult restart on my 1992 940 GL, low miles with now 74,000. The suspected culprits were (in order) the Fuel Injection Relay, Radio Suppression Relay, with some mention of the Crank Sensor (aka RPM Sensor?) and then the Power Stage. I replaced the Fuel Injection relay with a new unit. It seemed like a reasonable step and not expensive. The car seemed to run somewhat stronger and smoother when that went in, but I concede that could be placebo effect and/or my imagination. Here I was "black boxing" the thing all the way.

Well, yesterday the problem struck again after a few weeks of no problems, with an added symptom/background: As before, the engine would not start after sitting in a parking lot for 15-20 minutes. As the first time it was a hot day and after raising the hood for a simple visual inspection (obviously letting it cool down) the thing caught and roared back to life. Does anyone have any G2 on maybe a very hot engine compartment (car sitting) having an influence on fuel delivery?

Any ideas or sage advice? Should I just work down the list? It is really annoying since the thing runs beautifully otherwise. Thanks, guys.
