Default Trouble starting when engine is warm.....

Hey guysI ran into a problem my car seems to have a tough time starting when it is warm, it will turn over but it takes like the 3rd time to finally start. Also when it does this the fumes from the exhaust smell funny. It runs fine and everything on cold starts it starts right up. No check engine lights are on ,and engine is stock. Thanks for the help guys!

yes! change your plugs! go with motorcraft there the best or autolites or ngk are ok too but I wouldn't do nothin else... make sure u don't overtighten the plugs or u will have BIG problems just make sure there snug! not lose tho... but replace ur fuel filter too... run some lucus fuel injector cleaner and cheap fuel pressure gauge is like 7$
