It sounds like you are in the middle of doing all the rights things (except for the use of capitalization and punctuation). The actual compression numbers are very important to troubleshooting, as a problem with hot starts can be caused by low compression. It could also be related to bad coils or a bad fuel pump too, and it sounds like you are covering those bases this weekend.

Do a compression test and get the numbers bro. Rule that out first.

I'd do coils before anything else.
Get the compression test
Double check plug wires and make sure you did not mix them up.
While you are at it, clean the intake filter, throttle body and all the intake hoses/ accordians tubes.

Cheers,
