Oil level or condition would be all I could think of.

Did you replace the IPR, or put new o-rings on the old one?

IPR I'm thinking, is that the part on the top of the motor that is like a sensor looking at the motor it would be in the top right

The IPR is a solenoid valve that screws in to the back of the HPOP. It's got a tin nut that holds the solenoid on the stem, and it takes a 1 1/8" wrench or deep well socket to take the valve out of the HPOP.

Did you put a new one in the new HPOP? Here's a pic showing it's location.

Usually not starting after it's hot is low injection control pressure. If you changed the HPOP and the old IPR was put back in, the o-rings may have gotten damaged or something. Just a guess though.
