'95 hard start after warms up

Some Info about my pickup, 1995 ext cab long box, ZF5, bully dog cold air intake, 3.5" down pipe to 4" out, 125K miles, new glow plugs & relay within last 2k miles.

my 95 will start up fine when it has'nt been ran, but some times after you get it up to operating temp, and shut it off, itll start, then sputter and die. It doesnt cranks longer then usual, does not smoke while it cranks, and some times itll do it 2 times but after the 2nd time it always fires up and idles fine, runs great once you get it started.seems to be progressivley getting worse, also seems like it maybe smoknig a little more under heavy acceleration

may be a coincidence but i just reflashed the PCM, with Fords IDS computer, and ever since then it seems to be acting up.

thanks

Hard starts when warm most the time point to bad ipr o rings. But maybe some thing went wrong in the reflash too. Why did you get it reflashed in the first place. Was there a problem befor?

Had no problems before,but i had access to the ford IDS computer so i didnt figure it would hurt it any by reflashing it.
