this is a classic case of warm start difficulties. it is very typical of this era of fuel injection. the v8s seem to be worse than the inline engines. when i first got my 500sec i did all the stuff you mentioned and more but the problem still persists. it is lessened if you always remember to push the pedal down some before cranking it over.

mine has become pretty tolerable as long as i remember to do that.
