Trouble starting, please help.

I bought a 86 camaro iroc with the 305 TPI for my 16 yr old son. Last Friday, the day he got his license, we started having troubles with it starting. Seems that the biggest issue is when the vehicle is warm the engine just rolls and won't start. I have checked everything that I can possibly think of from the plugs, ignition control module, battery, plug wires, electrical connection, fuel, injectors and fuel pump are brand new. I will be picking up a rebuilt mass air flow sensor tomorrow but I am stuck and cannot figure it out. Please give me some ideas on what I can look at, it would be very much appreciated.

get some starter fluid. The next time it won't start spray it into the throttle body. If it starts check out your temperature sensor. If not, then perhaps you have a cracked ignition control module that only fails when it's hot enough.

Thanks I'll try that. I took the ICM out and had it checked, it passed all 7 tests they did on it.
