Evo 8 Wont Start When Warm

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.

No codes or something?

Check your Coolant temp Sensor or wiring.

I will have to check the coolant sensor, but the car isn't showing a check engine I will have to check for codes manually.

When it won't start try thumping the fuel tank under the electric fuel pump.

If it starts after thumping there's a bad spot on the fuel pump commutator or the brushes are shot - anyway, not making contact. In other words, you need a fuel pump.

You can do a fuel pressure test to veirfy fuel pump is at fault.

Wouldn't you guys think it might be a electrical because it only happens when the car is warm?
