Warm engine starting sound?

I have noticed that when starting the engine AFTER it is already warm and has been sitting it appears to sound like it wants to hesitate before starting. This is somewhat difficult to describe, but it occurrs when for example, I drive home from work, let the car sit for an hour or so, and come back to start it. The car always starts but cranks differently than it does when the engine is cold, or has just been shut off and then started back up. I doubt it is a problem but after all the trouble I had in my 93 RX I am just a bit nervous! Maybe I should record the sound with my Yepp and post it somehow. Anyone else observed something like this?

On a brighter note, the bank called today and has lowered my APR by 2% points.... when I had not requested it! What a GREAT way to start the weekend.

How about a link so we don't have to search for it?
