Default wont start once warms up

The truck is a little rough to start, when cold. Once the truck gets warms it barely starts. Finally when the truck has been idle or running for anytime it wont start at all i have the timing set as good as i can any idea's? I just fixed a po303 cylinder 3 misfire, after injectors, wires, any thing would help.

thanks i'll check it out in the a.m..... could it be a starter issue, could the heat have any effect on the starter? or maybe the wiring??

As temperature increases so does the resistance in wiring, but i wouldnt jump right to getting a new starter. does it seem like the engine is spinning over at its normal speed? or is it faster or slower than normal?
