Default RS will not fire when hot

My rs turbo has real issues starting when engine has some temperature. The car will fire first time when stone cold but as soon as it has some running temp it takes a while to fire. Its not the starter motor as this is easily turning the engine. I find the best way to get the car to fire is to have the accelerator pushed to the floor then turn the car over this normally works. Could this be a sensor or poor fuel pressure?

Check your CO, and for any air leaks, then check the igntion timing.

is this the CO sensor that could be on its way out?
