1985 Toyota Corolla problem

So I am having problems turning on the car when it has been working for a while and is warmed up. In the morning when the car is cold and hasn't been started, it starts up fine with no problem. After it warms up in 10-15 minutes while I am driving it, when I stop at a stop light it shuts off and its really hard to start it up again. Is there any suggestions?

Is it fuel injected or carburetor?

Try holding the gas pedal to the floor when trying to start.
If it starts easier that way, your carb is probably flooding because the float level is too high, or the auxillary accellerator pump diaphram is cracked.
