is the starting problem only pressent whe nthe engine is warm? if this is the case then i would be inclined to check the coolant temperature sensor. this could cause the wrong amount of fuel to be injected into the cylinders

Yes, this only happens when it is warm. Once the engine is switched off it may take longer while to come on. Once it even went off on while driving and never came back on till after a long while. Would there be any other reason the car would behave like that?
