Looking back, i think i might have had that issue before but i didnt realize it or pay attention to it. In that time i was only doing round trip drives with the car and would almost never shut the engine off and restart except once when first starting up so i didnt notice. I think i noticed the hot start issue when filling up with gas on a very hot day but chalked it up to "probably not a big deal" since it started right up.

the only work the mechanic recently did was taking the injectors out, i got them refurbished and then he put them in again. i think i did eliminate the possibility of the injectors not sitting correctly or having a pinched seal and losing fuel pressure because i did the fuel pressure test and it seemed fine (also documented on here). Also, the car starts right up even after sitting for days so that tells me the pressure doesnt bleed out.
