Well I just recent changed the head gasket and serviced it at the same time. The car runs fine but when the engine gets hot it gives hell to start. It would just swing and swing then eventually after maybe 10 to 15 seconds turn over

Please elaborate on this "swinging" are you saying it wont sustain rotation till about 15secs( no firing). Next time you go to start your car turn the key to stage two and listen for the fuel pump. It will turn off when the little green key in your cluster does. An engine only needs four things to work: fuel, spark, air, and an initial rotation. Two of which you obviously have, now its just figuring out which of the other two are causing the problem.
