Engine loads up when you try to start after running for a while. Does't do this when the engine is cold. Raw fuel will run out exhaust pipe when you try to start it. Have to hold fuel to floor to get it started and once it starts it runs and idle's ok.

Possible causes include a bad O2 sensor, excessive fuel pressure (bad fuel pressure regulator or plugged return line), leaky fuel injectors, dirty air filter or restricted air inlet, or a defective coolant sensor that prevents the engine management system from going into closed loop mode.
