So it starts fine cold, but once it warms up it won't start after sitting for a short time? That sounds a lot like the AIC (Automatic Idle Control), assuming your car still has one. If so it's a 15 minute job to take it off, clean and lubricate (lots of posts on how, just do a search). The next time it does this try stepping on the gas slightly and see if it starts. If it starts but won't stay running unless you keep the gas on that's probably what it is. Another thing that can give you the same problem is the purge valve. If your car doesn't have an AIC then I would suspect the purge valve (again do a search). I'm of course assuming everything like plugs (proper NKG only), aircleaner, fuel filter, etc are in good shape.
