Mike,

Sorry to here that the injectors did not help. Spending money that does
not cure a fault is frustrating.
A couple of cost free ideas are to firstly check the rest height of the
air flow plate and secondly a common reply is to check carefully for air
leaks in the inlet/breather pipes and intercooler. If there is a leak the
cold start injector may provide enough fuel for cold starting but as it
does not operate when hot the lack of fuel will cause starting problems.
It would be nice to confirm what the problem is either ignition or over or
under fueling.
