loosing cillenders :-(

I have been having major problems with my z. It seems that once I warm up the car real good, (like on my way home from work) then stop for like 10 minutes, then start her back up, I loose about 3 cillenders. Then I get a little mad and punch the gas pedal a couple times, it finally kicks in but it takes it a few minutes, and sometimes she won't go at first. I can't stand it anymore! my mechanic can't figure it out! we put new plugs, coil, the wires are fairly new, he checked fuel, the injectors are working.... does anyone have any ideas?

well, it looks like I accidentally posted this in the wrong spot! That's okay though because I'll take any ideas.

not sure if the 76 z is fuel injectrd or not but mine was doing same thing. After running was hard to start then skip until cleared up. I ran the car, then brought it into my shop and cut it off, waited a bit and started, skipped, running on 4 cylinders,shut it down and remove spark plugs. I found the #3 nad #4 plugs wet with gas. I had 2 injecters leaking fuel after engine was shut down. I replaced all 6 and runs great now, starts soon as I turn the key...............
