leaky injectors maybe flooding or vapor locking the engine. back-flow check valve at the fuel pump may allow fuel to drain back losing pressure. basically when fuel is not under pressure it can boil when the engine is hot.vapor lock. somewhere between the injectors and the fuel pump you are probably losing pressure. a bad four wire temperature sensor on the water pump housing can cause hot start issues too. this isn't written in stone. good luck

I have heard that that the problem you describe is caused by worn out rotor in the distributor. I suggest you remove the distributor cap and check the condition of the rotor

do you mean the A/C clutch doesn't disengage? try unplugging the wires at the compressor. possible frozen clutch engaged would be unusual.
