Warm start problem

Hi all,
My van starts fine in the cold or when it's not run for a few hours, but when it has been warned up it takes about 5 attempts to get her going. Could any shed some light on why please.
Many thanks
James

What engine do you have?
And what is your engine start procedure when it's warm (i.e. what do you do re pressing accelerator etc)

Sorry forgot to mention that. It's a gti conversion with a mk2 golf gti 8v engine.
