I have a 94 festiva WB which starts fine when engine cold and fine when engine has only been off for 5 minutes, otherwise -from 10minutes until about 2 hours passes (after stopping running)it will crank over for about 10 seconds before starting. It always runs/drives fine once started. It's just the substantially delayed starting when warm that is the issue. I have replaced plugs, battery and coolant temperature sensor. ANY ideas are gratefully appreciated.

Ya know, I had this problem in the carb'd Sprint for a while. Ended up being clogged fuel jets and a rubber fuel line that was literally sitting on the exhaust (causing the fuel to turn into a gas, causing a pocket that fuel couldn't get past [it's called vapor lock]). Only happened after a drive. Shut it off, no dice, no starting.
Is your Festy carb or EFI? If it's EFI, then I might not have been much help.
Good luck!
