Starts, but sometimes dies.

Hey everyone, I have a problem with my 305 TBI motor. When the car has sat for about an hour or more, the car starts like the day it was born. But if the motor gets warmed up and shut off, and I come back to start it about 30-45 min. later, it will keep stumbling and dying. If I keep reving it, the motor will catch and run perfect. Any suggestions will be very appreciated!

92,

Have you checked for leakage from the injectors? The next time you shut it off and have a few minutes, remove the air cleaner lid, fold a paper towel and place a piece under each of the the injectors in the throttle body. Check the paper in about 15 minutes to see if it has wet fuel on it.
