Default Hard to start when warm

Hey guys,

thought i'd post an issue i've been having with my 07 LS Focus zetec.

When the engine is warm/hot (only when warm or hot) i cant seem to start the car unless i pump the accelerator a few times while the engine is turning over. It wont fire up unless doing so.

No warning lights appear, no strange sounds, and runs fine after it turns on. Got me thinking that maybe its a sensor that is faulty when warm. Cold starting is fine, and required no accelerator to get going. Definently not normal as sometimes the engine will shutter until the rev's stabilise.

car has 59,000k's, but have noticed it for the past 15-20,000k's intermediately.

any ideas?
