Default Hard restart

I did an efi conversion on an older car using early 90's 5.0 mass air parts. The engine starts fine but after idling for a while an shutting it off it won't restart. It cranks and sputters but won't start. I have an engine mounted fuel pressure gauge that shows normal. If I let it sit for a while it starts up. Any suggestions where to start looking?
Thanks
Rick

you need to test the TFI module and PIP module on the distributor..

MJR46 will likely have a how-to on doing such

I come to this site for help, not sarcasm. I will try another site that hopefully will be friendlier.
