5KCSQ dies & wont restart for a few minutes

[paanta at splatterfish.com]

My 5KCSQ is still doing its weird thing:

The car starts a little hard in the morning, but always starts with a
little extra gas.  Once it starts it idles ok for a few seconds and then
the idle starts to get lower, and lower, and lower and you have to
heel-toe whenenver you put the clutch in and come to a stop to keep
the car alive.  Once the car is warm, it'll idle OK if you don't let the
RPM's drop on their own.  You can slowly bring the car down to idle
and it will idle fine...albeit a little rough.  Before this weekend, if
the
car died, it would restart after a couple of seconds if you let it just
sit.
However, now, if the car DOES die, it is _extremely_ hard to get
restarted.  At a bare minimum, you have to wait about two to four
minutes before it will allow you to restart it.  If you try too soon, you
just have to wait another couple of minutes.  It leads to some fun
situations at stoplights.

Anyone know what this is?  Could it be caused by a bad plug wire?
I've got at least one plug wire that is suspect.
