Hot starting

2001 Suzuki Vitara 1600 GV
Car: Suzuki Vitara
Year: 2001
Variant: 1600 GV
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
My wife's Vitara has recently developed a hot start problem. It starts perfectly cold and runs fine, if you stop the car, for petrol or something for a short stop it will not restart, just turns over and occasionally may fire then back fire. If you leave it 10 or 15 mins it starts perfectly again.
