'89 Starts Cold Runs Fine Won't Start When Turned Off
1989 - Starts great, runs right until I turn it off. When I try to start it again it doesn't want to start until cooled down. Have had it checked by two machanics -- neither could locate a specific problem. One recommended a new coil and/or fuel pump. The other recommended new spark plug wires. What's up? Thanks for any suggestions.

lets assume its cranking over fine. when it doesnt start check for spark,if ya got spark check for fuel.you can check for spark by pulling off a plug wire and putting a screw driver in the boot ,hold it 3/8 of an inch to ground then have someone crank it over.you want a nice crisp spark jumping off the screw driver to ground.fuel testing need test equiptment

Fuel injectors. Starts fine cold then hard to start when its hot or won't start at all after the initial start?

I don't know if they sell the injector kits but I know the ones for LT-1's can be R&R'd.
