I had an issue on a 95 that didn't like to start without stalling when it was already hot, a new valley pan gasket helped fix a vacuum leak and the issue subsided.

Mine wouldn't start warm and if it did it was real rough. Do you smell fuel when its trying to start when its hot?

Not really smelling fuel I wish that was my problem I'm finally getting under it again today after I eat something

Question, you say it won't start, will it turn over or does anything happen, other than the bell and whistles and dash lights come on? I have the same problem, I make the final turn of the key for ignition, nothing at all. So I wait also. If it was a fuel problem, it would turn over, though not start. My problem, it has not happened when I get home, so hard to test.
