This is a common symptom pf a faulty Temp 2 sensor or a bad connection
there.

Subject: hard start when warm

I just purchased a 91GL. Real nice van. Head were replaced last year.
Always kept in the garage. Not a speck of rust. All the carpets were
covered from day one. The middle seat was removed the day it was
purchased and put into the attic. It's all like new. It ran and drove
beautiful unless... you tried to start it when warm. When cold starts
right up no problem. If  you stall it or try to restart when warm
it just cranks and cranks. I don't have a Bentley yet(ordered it today)
and this is my first 2.1. My other vanagon is a 1.9 and my bay is
aircooled. Any suggestions on where to start?
