Default Bad warm start

My 240 station/wagon/estate is behaving funny.320 K 1993.

At a cold start it turns on with a flick of the ignition key.
However a warm start, even after a couple of minutes, it doesn't.I have to
start it longer and it starts.
The ?*&@ brick has also LPG and it always starts on petrol.
The diagnostic system says ok.

Any ideas?

At random the idle speed somewhat higher than normal after starting, same on
LPG and petrol.
Also it looks like the engine is hunting a bit or could it be the computer
doing this (lambda control),
otherwise a vacuum leak is the one i would be looking for.

I have read about the fuel pump relay but didn't chek them yet.

Great cars, love them, but any hints are welcome.

Hans.
