Default Starting problem when warm

2002 Dodge Ram 4.7 I have a problem I am trying to figure out. No codes and have run data on a scanner yet with truck running. When the truck is cold it starts right up, but when it is warm the truck cranks and kicks once like it started then stalls It does it a few times until I put down the throttle and it starts. Truck runs beautiful and no other issues. I like to get some ideas of what to look at. Thanks

See what various temp sensors have to say when the engine is warm.

You were right recently I removed the buzzer from my instrument cluster because of a lamp out warning due to HID's and never noticed that my temp was running cold. I changed IAC and was ready to change crank sensor and got a check engine light for p1281 engine is cold too long. It looks like PCM wasn't letting truck start due to thermostat not working properly. I changed thermostat today and temperature sensor today and vehicle is fixed.
