Weird starting problem

For the last year or so my truck has been running great. Except for the fact that when I try to start it after it's still hot it won't start unless I press the throttle about half way down. Normally it isn't such a problem except when getting gas or just stopping in the store real quick. But it's getting worse, I just about had it towed yesterday b4 it finally started. A few months ago I checked the ficm and got 48v both pre and post starting so I don't think that's the problem. If no one can think of another issue I may have to replace the ficm anyway. Because I can't think of anything else it could be. HPOP?

Need to monitor IPR duty cycle and ICP volts or pressure. You could have a leak in the HPO system.

Any DTC's?

funny though pushing the gas pedel really does nothing as its all wires. if you had an issue with you should have a light and a buch of app codes to go with it.
as said look at icp issues.
