Replace the Temp II (blue) temperature sensor in the thermostat
housing.  It is causing the FI to flood the engine during warm starts.

When I took it this morning no problem to start it from cold. I drove for about 40 miles and stopped the van for 20 minutes. When I tried to restart it, no way. The starter was working but the motor didn`t want to fire. After many tries when the battery starting to died, I succeeded to restart it. The motor was running great as usual. After that, I drove for 10 miles and stopped for breakfest. The same story happened when I tried to leave from the restaurant parking lot.
