If the problem only happens sometimes (or worse sometimes than others) and the temperature gauge/sensor isn't operating erratically -> you should check your EGR. (It could be sticking open when things get hot.)

You might unplug it when the engine is cold, then take it up to temperature, and then try the start. If the valve is sticking, unplugging it when the engine is hot will do nothing for you.

That being said, your PCM will probably have a fit and throw some codes at you - but hopefully it will let you up to temperature without any other associated issues.
