I think the two symptoms are not related but you never know. the dash guage is far from accurate, it won't go to red until the engine coolant is near 300, nog good. Get yourself the $5 version of torque pro, an odb2 blue tooth connector and you'll have accurate engine fluid temps but given its a 96 not so such, so someone on here with a similar model yr will probably chime ine.
If the age of the radiator cap is in question, I would replace with a new one, especially if there is 'gurgling', its cheap protection so just do it soon.
The hard to start after warmed up, driven and parked a little while, could be again could be the fuel pump. The pump has a one way valve, if that valve is failing but again that just a hunch. Could also be fuel injectors leaking after sitting. Experts where are you?
