In the morning the car will start with no problem but after the engine warm up it take a lot of time to start.. please help any sugestions????
 
Does it crank over regulary when it is warm, or is it slow to start. It might be your starting going out.

Codes codes codes

You say it will start some times . There is a good chance there are no codes when you do the key on engine off test. You can also do a key on engine RUNNING or a cylinder balancer test these tests could be quite helpful in locating your problem. Have you done a compression test to check for bad Head gaskets. If there is coolent or water in cylinders it won't start untill water has evaporated or dried up.
 
If your car is turning over normally, then you can rule out the starter.

From there you need to do a little troubleshooting.

When it's warm and won't start, does it cough and sputter or just crank over?

If it just cranks without trying to start at all, does your upshift light go out while cranking? Do you get a tach reading while cranking?

If it sputters and coughs while trying to start warm, is your tach jumping erratically? Does your fan turn on when the temp gage hits the "M" in "NORM"?

There are quite a few reasons you can get a hard start most of them are low cost sensors ($30-$60) but finding the problem can be a pain.
