When engine warm or hot takes longer to start, but runs fine when started.

If check engine light is not on check fuel pressure with a gauge, if they are low on pressure will cause this. auto parts rent gauge. See link. also, try a wiggle test on crank sensor if it starts quick then the harness there is bad or a crank sensor as they can go bad and not set a code.
