Question
Car starts when cool out , but as soon as it gets hot you have to turn the key many times , then she starts . good battery and new starter motor

Answer
Did you check the vacuum hoses for leaks and also the intake boot.You may have a leak on the evap system but you would get the check engine light if you have.Did your check engine light come on at all?Could also be a sticking egr valve.Its a bit difficult for the average person to check all of these items so you may need to have it looked at by a shop and have them do a tune up also.Other possible causes,air temp sensor,maf sensor,map sensor,idle air control,throttle position sensor.
