it seems like it doesnt matter where the temp. quage is, once the car has been running for more than 10-15 min. if i turn it off it wont start for another hour.....i am planning on gathering as much info as i can and relaying it to a reliable mechanic..your help is appreciated........

With the engine OFF and cold, find the fuel pressure regulator, a little round canister attached to the fuel rail on the intake manifold with a vacuum line on it. Pull the vacuum line off. If it pees gasoline at you from the vacuum port (it won't be a high-pressure blast, but keep a shop rag handy), it'* leaking. Symptoms of this are normal cold starts, but very difficult warm restarts, as you described.

nope, not necessarily. because that leak is in a vacuum line, there'* a good chance it would never get to the ground.
but if it did, gasoline evaporates pretty quickly, and you still probably wouldn't see it.
