My Firebird 3.1 wont start when warm

I just purchased a 90 firebird that had been sitting for 3 yrs do to shorted injector. I replaced the fuel pump & injectors, it runs fine. When I shut it off after it is warm it won't start right away. It has to sit for 5 min. or so before it will start. Are there any suggestions for my problem?

Maybe an ignition module failing after it's heated up.

Also, have you tried shooting starter fluid into it to see if it starts. If it does, it might just be a bad coolant temp sensor...
