Is your fuel pup coming on when you turn on the ignition? If not its probably your main relay.

i can almost bet that its your main relay then. Thats usually what happens. When the car is cold it starts right up and when its hot it wont start. It has to do with the expansion and contraction of the solder joints due to hot and cold in the main relay. Resoldering it probably would fix your problem.
