05 rx8 AT hot start issue

Hey everyone, thanks for reading and hopefully being able to help me solve my issue! I have had a hot start issue since I got my 05 rx8 shrinks AT a few months ago. I was first told it had low compression by the Mazda dealer, so I went and got it fully rebuilt. I had high compression numbers around 8 or so, but still had the hot start issue.
I have replaced the battery with a optima red top, replaced my starter with a reman 0B, and the engine was rebuilt under warranty a second time for the issue.
I have replaced coils, plugs, battery, engine, and the starter. So what could this possibly be? The engine has ~3k miles on it since the last rebuild.
