Default HELP! 91 5.0 Hot Start Problem

I'm having a problem starting my car once it's at operating temp. Start's fine when cold but engine just turns once the car is warm and I let it sit for a few minutes before restarting. I checked for spark at the cap and the coil wire is sparking fine, it also has fuel at the injectors.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

im still confused.... does it crank over, and not fire up, or do you just get a click when you try to start it?......... im guessing its just not firing up, maybe the coil?

It does sound like heat soak.You could need a starter.

my best guess is the timing is set too high, check this first.

Well, the engine turns but it just won't fire up. Can the heat soak problem occur because the starter is bad?

I checked for coil spark when the engine is turning and it appears to be sparking fine.
