Car runs like crap when it's warm..
This just started happening..
My car runs fine when I first start it up and water temp is down, but when water temp is at normal, and I shut it off, and turn it back on (Like going into a gas station or whatever), it'll idle like crap for about 2-3 minutes, and even die if I don't keep giving it gas..
Any ideas?

If that's the case then it'd be too rich........have you run a koeo/koer test to check for any codes?? also I'd check fuel pressure and see if you have leak down occuring like due to a bad check valve in the pump or also have you pulled the vaccum line to the regulator and checked to see if it's wet with fuel inside due to a possible ruptured diaphram...also if the regulator is bad it could cause pressure to intermitantly spike..I had a e.350 van domthat one time..out of the blue it run bad briefly then good..anyway just a few ideas to check
