Seriously you need a fp gauge to tell what the pressure is.
Not starting when warm is a classic sign of crank or cam sensor. These usually throw a code sooner or later, usually later.

I think this might be the sensor on the thermostat housing telling the computer its cold, and give the engine too much gasoline. if its start easy when cold and not starting easy when the engine is varm it could be this sensor. because its starting when you force it.
