Hard restart

93 F150/302. Starts fine on a cold engine start. But,after engines warms up and turned off for a few minutes, the restart becomes a problem in that the engine turns over from about five to ten seconds before it starts. Seems to be a fuel or computer related problem.
? Whatcha think

It sounds like it might be boiling the gas out of the fuel rail, possibly a sign of a bad regulator or further problems coming up.

it does it even when engine is just warm and not at full operating temperature. If the engine is off for 10 minutes or so it turns over quite a bit before it runs.I relate it to a carb that may drip into the intake and causes the engine to turnover many times before it starts?

Have you checked the fuel pressure when it is acting up?
