I bouhgt a 04 4 tec in june and its been great how ever I noticed once its warm sometimes it will not start back up unless you give it a lot of throttle almost like it get flooded or something. It has 45 hours on it and prob orginal plugs think I need to change them? Any Ideas?
 
With the fuel issues we presently have, (lots of ethanol), this is becoming more and more common.

What is happening is, a vapor lock. The injectors are opening like they should be, but the fuel is more of a gas as compared to a liquid. This happens after an engine has gotten to temperature and then is shut off for a bit.

If you were to remove your seat so it would cool more efficiently while you had the engine shut off, I would bet you would not have the issue..

This is super common with traditional boats especially due to the hotter than normal summer that the US is seeing...
