Default Having Engine Problem with my delsol

ok i have a 94 sol with a d16z6 & every time i started for the first time in the day it fires right up but after i drive to where ever im going to, when i shut it off and dont let it cool off it struggles to start right up unless i give it a lil gas it will start up. what could be the problem the CEL isnt on so i cant troubleshoot it. Has anyone experienced this issue????

check your compression when the motors cold and when the motors hot.

Wow, story of my life..
I'm having the same issue, it cant be the fuel filter because I changed mines out and I'm still having that problem.
Trying changing your fuel pump and check your compression like what Hanmin said.

And also check your Main Relay, I changed mines out and it's giving me a little better response.
