Hi,
Fuel feed problem?
What engine, DME, gearbox, fuel system etc might help. :)
Where abouts are you?

Disconnect your Idle control Valve this should eliminate your idling issue. I am running with no ICV at the moment made no difference infact ran much better.

As for your start issue, If on cold it start fine and once its warm it takes a while to fire back up then it has to do with your coolant sensor.

Mine is an M62B44 and had the same issues.
