2002 F-150 4.2L Hard Starting...Suggestions?

I have a 2002 F-150 4.2L that is hard to start when warm. Cold starts are no problem, except in the below 0 F stretch last winter. Also when it is a hot start it is not an issue. Only when it has sat for a few hours does it have an issue.

The following is the list of things that have been done.
New Plugs, New Plug Wires, New Coil Pack, New Fuel Filter, Clean Throttle Body, Clean Mass Air Sensor, Clean Idle Bypass, Replace EGR Vacuum Control Switch, Manifold Leak Repair (Ford Dealer), Throttle Body Stop Adjusted for more idle speed.

Anybody have any ideas? I have run out for now. I am hoping the collective wisdom can help here.
Thanks,
