Check for black smoke from the tailpipe when it finally starts. You may have some leaky injectors flooding the engine. For your info, holding the gas to the floor while cranking will turn the injectors off completely.

Thanks for info. If the injectors were leaking would't it be hard starting all the time not just when then engine and outside temp. is warm.
