Sounds like the injectors are leaking after you have shut down, common problem as they get older. Fuel then sits in the cylinder and over time will evaporate, hence its OK in the morning but over shorter periods you're basically flooded. A quick fix that you can do to help reduce the flooding is to disconnect the cold start injector.........worked on my coupe GT for another 70,000 miles. If that reduces the crank time then you have confirmed its leaking injectors and you can do what I did, leave it disconnected. Alternatively you may want to purchase new injectors. HTH :D
