so i get my car all together after the winter take it for a drive its running great stop to get a drink. go to start car again starts fine go to leave and its stuttering and hesitating give it a little gas and it takes off like a freight train. it only does it when it is heat soaked i have to drive it for like 45 min or so then shut it off restart and when i go it bucks and hesitates give it a little gas and it doesent do it until i try to restart it again wtf it feels like a clogged fuel filter but it has good pressure. im at a loss. i checked all the wires the plugs are newish all the grounds are tight cleaned the maf. there is a tick coming from what seems to be the 5 hole but i just attribute that to lts
any insight greatly appriciated

Well change the fuel filter it don't cost much! And also might wanna check the injectors.

changed filter no change. i did notice that when this is going on i have less vacuum at idle and when i give it a little gas i get more vacuum. its exacly the opposite of what its supposed to do. it only does this on a warm restart and then only for about 20 seconds. if i had a vac leak it would do this all the time. oh the tick turned out to be a bad header gasket. i hope someone can chime in with a gem of wisdom and help me out my brain hurts from overthinking this. thanks, Chris

turned out to be the engine coolant temp sensor wasent sending proper info to the pcm on warm restarts i apparently broke it when i was reinstalling the headers
