Warm/hot running and warm start problems on CIS injection cars are usually
caused by the following:
- air leaks in the intake systems
- bad oxygen sensor
- leaky fuel injectors (warm start)
- bad fuel accumulator (warm start)

However, before you go replacing pricey fuel injection parts, first
throughly inspect for air leaks and then give the car a good tune up,
like new spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor and ignition wires.
While you're in there, replace the fuel filter too.
