Default Need your help - Starting Problem

I have a prob with my rouse cossie.

It is down to starting the car. The car takes a while to start when cold and willl not start when hot.

I have changed the water temp sensor
Act sensor
Ignition modual
Coil lead

Anything else I can do, or people have ides what it is down to?
