Car will not start after it has been running

Car: 1985 16V turbo.
Symptoms: starter will crank but engine will not fire after car has been run. If car sits for at least 1 hour, engine will fire quickly. Symptoms replicated several times. Once started, engine generally runs well, with no symptoms of fuel starvation or lack of spark.
Onset: Symptoms started when weather turned cold (38 degrees For lower). Prior to that, engine had an occasional miss while warming up.
Troubleshooting to date: Distributor checked for damage from arcing. Normal wear found. Arcing damage sanded off ignition rotor. Both distributor and rotor are young (less than 6 months and 5K miles old)
Question: Spark or fuel issue? I'm thinking fuel issue. If fuel issue, where? Fuel pressure regulator? Pre-pump? Other?
