E420 difficult to hot start

Just bought a 94 E420 with high mileage (exact unknown). Car starts fine when cold, runs great, but after engine is hot, almost impossible to restart after motor is shut off for a few minutes. Have to crank engine a long time before it either starts, or just leave it till the next morning? Any ideas?

I would change the crank position sensor unless you have already done so!!
