Testing the CPS is what I posted for you earlier over here:

As for the issue you now have of good cold starts but hard hot starts, leaking injectors would give you those symptoms, but so could failing electrical components, by flexing solder joints, etc. and losing electrical contact as they heat up. The EHA could be an issue, but the EHA is also involved in cold starts, and they seem to be OK, so that's a long shot. I would just do systematic troubleshooting on all of the electrical components, following the FSM diagnostic procedures, and a fuel pressure test too.
