Evo 8 Wont Start When Warm
buy a spark tester, they are only a few bucks and the local parts store and google how to use it, its really easy. If you have spark you can eliminate any ignition related stuff like cam/crank sensors (those both have to send a signal to the ecu for the ecu to send ignition signal to coils)
if you have spark next is fuel pressure. It is very possible for a fuel pump to get warm and loose some sort of connection electrically. Some parts store will rent one to you, just make sure you have the right adaptors. Hope that helps!

Sounds like you need to replace the

So as you see the car wont start when warmed up. The car has no issue when it is cold starting. Yesterday when I was driving to work the car started acting weird then the RPMs were jumping and heard two backfires from the exhaust, so I pushed in the clutch then the car died and would not start again. I had to have the car towed home and when I got home of course it started straight up. I have already tried swapping out the map sensor with another friends 4 bar same brand and nothing. I have also read on here that someone else was having the same issue with theirs and they replaced the cam position sensor, so we also tried this and nothing car still wouldn't start when warm. I messaged my tuner and he said it sounds like a leaky injector, but idk if this would be the case as the injectors are less than a year old but who knows. I am on speed density and on E85 if this helps. Stock ECU. any help would be gladly appreciated.
Thanks!

You've probably got the "deleted the FPR solenoid" on your mod list.
That won't help.
Probably got a whole load of other things wrong too.
Checking the fuel pressure is always a good start because it's nearly always wrong.

I've check the spark when the car does not want to start it does spark. And also I am running 2150s the car has been running fine on this fine for 5 months now With no issues prior to this.
have you tried squirting some brake clean in a vacuum port while cranking? Its not a very recommended test but if your car is not getting fuel, itll run with break cleaner as a fuel source. Ive done it before but only for a few seconds to confirm it runs.
with good fuel pressure and good spark, its most likley not opening injectors. I cant imagine your car loosing that much compresson only when warm, or loosing compression at all. With good compression, fuel, and the right timing it has to start, being that it starts when cold my guess is timing is correct. I dont know much about tuning but it sounds like something electrical causing the injectors not to be fired off.
