Suz240Dl is on the right track. The K-Jets have a fuel accumulator to keep the fuel line pressure up so the fuel does not vaporize in the line while the engine is hot. On the LH-Jet cars I believe they have a fuel line check valve that does the same job the fuel accumulator did. The check valve hides in the fuel line leading in to the fuel pump from the tank. When working properly it keeps the fuel pressure up making warm starts easy for you and the engine. Next time you shut her down try jumping the fuel pump fuses in the fuse box to run the fuel pumps for about 5-10 seconds. That will repressurize the fuel line and if the car starts up great then you know you are losing the fuel pressure after shut down (Defective Check Valve). Good Luck!
