As some may recall, I had this exact problem just a week or so ago.  In my
case, it wasn't the sensor that was bad but the connector had come loose.
See if there's a blue plastic connector with a couple of wires (one white,
the other white/blue) hanging loose over on the left side, probably around
the coolant reservoir.  It'll probably look pretty clean on the inside like
it has just recently come loose -- mine did.  The place where it goes is
right under the A/C compressor (hard to see).  Once mine was reconnected,
the starting problem instantly vanished.

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

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.
