Car cranks, but wont start once engine is warm

Hello all my name is Ryan
I have a 1994 3000GT VR4 with 184k miles
It has the following issue. When the motor is cold, it starts up right away with no issues. once the car is up to operating temperatures, if it is turned off, the car will turn over, but will not start again unless we wait for about an hour for the car to cool off completely. I am at a loss as to where to even start. Any input would be greatly appreciated. So far, I am thinking maybe Fuel pump is overheating, or the MAF sensor is going bad.

Bad electrical connection ? check battery terminals are clean and tight. check earth connections. Poor electrical connections get more resistance when hot so maybe enough to crank but not enough to create enough spark to fire the engine ? wiring harness breaking down ?

I am following this as mine has a little similar symptoms, but mine does start up when warm, it just takes many more cranks, but when cold it starts up on the first crank…

Possible crank sensor faulty.
