Poor hot start

I have 95 7.3 turbo and it has a terrible hot start problem. In the morning she fires up fine but once i stop it hot for a few mins and try to restart it cranks strong but won't start. After 20-30 seconds of cranking it will start. All filters are new and so are the glow plugs and relay. I have checked all ecm pins and wiring harness...tugging and pulling while someone cranks....the sensor "forget the name" with 3 pins on front of driver side head is new...the one in the oil chamber.

It runs strong and has 150 000 mile on it.

Thanks for any help guys!

Your IPR o rings may be going bad. When the oil warms it bypasses the o rings.
