Could be a fuel pressure that's leaking down real quick due to leakage on the injectors or pressure regulator and a fuel pump check valve-Check the residual pressure when you turn it off-

Did you resolve this?
When you say 'hot', are you referring to engine being hot, or inside cabin being hot? There was an issue with Accords in that family where the car refused to start until the cabin was allowed to cool down.
