hot start problem now

[Kneale Brownson]

My 200q20v didn't like hot, humid weather for starting late last summer.
Cold nights it was OK.  That was just before I replaced the plugs, wires,
distributor cap as part of my general engine bay parts overhaul (all hoses,
radiators, etc., along with the temperature sensors).  No problem since
warm or cold.   So I don't know if the problem was the wires or the
temperature sensors or the plumbing, but my guess would be the wires.
