Hard to start after reaching normal operating temps
I have a 2003 f150 xlt 4.6 liter. Seems to have a hard time starting after running a while. Doesn't seem to happen first time of use. Any ideas?

Probably leaking injectors. They dribble and flood the engine.

Hard starting when warm is the typical symptom of dripping injectors. The next time you think its going to happen, push the throttle down 1/3 to 1/2 way and see if it starts faster. If so, you have your culprit.
