I have a 2001 Buick Lasabre it starts fine when cold but once the car has warmed up thy only way to start it is to press on the gas and hold the gas down slytly, other wise it tries to start but will not stay running.

Optional Information:

Already Tried:
I have not tried anything because I think it is one of the sensors, but do not know which.

No the check engine light does not come on, also I do not have to push the gas pedal to the floor only depress it a very little bit.

Could this be the case since it starts fine with the engine cold?
