I had a similar hot/warm restart problem with my
camper when I first got it. Next time it won't start,
disconnect the temp2 sensor plug and try to start it.
If it starts, shut it back off, reconnect the plug and
restart it. Your symptoms sound like its flooding on
warm/hot restarts. When you get sick of opening the
engine compartment and unplugging the temp2 connector,
replace the temp2 sensor. Its good preventive
maintenance to change that thing out every 3-4 years.

Good luck,
