1997 Buick Skylark 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

my car won't start when hot. It seems like it isn't getting fuel. It will start when cold. If I get it started when hot, it hesitates until I slam on the gas and it catches,but now it won't start at all. what could the problem be?

Hello, have you done any basic testing? If it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it, while you check for spark at the plugs. If you have plenty of spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel pressure. Can you check for codes?
