Hard start when warm

Since it was new! took it to dealer they said they didn't find any problem before it went out of warranty. Cranks and cranks and then starts up and man do you smell the gas. I found out that to start it quickly when chevy guys are around is to cut the fuel. basically put the pedal to the floor. starts right up.When I only stop for a few minutes it will pop right off. that was the only problem I have had for the longest time. Now I have some others but thats for a later post.Figured it was a sensor that was telling the computer that it is stone cold and the computer richens up the air /fuel ratio.

I have an 86 150 4x4 with the 5.0 v8 fuel injected does the same exact thing and it is driving me nuts. I can not find anything wrong. Have you figured it out yet?
