run the fault codes
not starting hot indicates an electronic component problem when hot
could be faulty cam/ crank position sensors, immobilizer or ECM
happened to me with the kia sportage. slow to start when hot.
check and clean your battery connections/terminals. some dirt/corrosion at the battery terminals dries up when hot, providing some resistance to the wire connections and slows down the turn over of your starter. clean this up by removing terminals, and cleaning it with sandpaper and water.
check/restart engine particularly when hot. if this does not work, have your starter bushings checked. these bushings when hot has a lot of friction slowing the starter turn over. sometimes the bushings are worn out.
4 stroke engines require a leaner than normal fuel/air mixture to start when hot. The cold start choke allows more fuel into the mix. The hot start choke allows more air into the mix.
