So then... how would you suggest this individual solve the problem?

I have this same issue as well.. I have kind of lives with it for a while as neither me nor my tuner could figure anything out. The only thing I found to help (a little at least) is to start at WOT just until it begins to fire.

I'm in for any more ideas/advice/solutions.

If you pull the plugs would it smell overwhelming like fuel?

Completely different motor but my old rx7 would do it every single time i turned it off. Fuel would flood the combustion chamber and it would have to sit for a few hours before it started again. Would just crank and crank. Leaking injectors

If it's vapor lock, it would be starved for fuel. Or were you implying that it isn't?

No sir. I probably should have left my experience out of the conversation. Just though a different take on the situation would be helpful.

No no... wasn't implying that, and hopefully I'm not coming across as a know it all... I'm just trying to help.

I was just trying to make sure people don't get all confused between suggestions.

I had a few people look at my tune and they said nothing seemed off... So at that point i had no clue to where to even begin to try to fix the problem. It was just annoying, nothing more then that, not like my car never started or anything

Would it misfire at first then run fine after it warms up? Pretty sure my cars doing this. Have to start it by giving it throttle too. Seems worst in cold and idles Terrible before it warms up and is giving me random cylinder misfire codes on cold starts.
