hi guys

I own a 2004 grand prix 3.8 and the first start of the day is always good but its having a hard time starting when the car is warm and I have to give it gas to get it started

what I have done so far is clean the throttle body 3 times by taking it off cleaning everything then the air sensor with proper cleaning sprays and still does the same thing

this has been a intermittent problem since I bought this car 4 years ago but now its becoming a constant problem

does any one have any other places I could look ?
