check the ground wires. Check the battery terminals for adequate connection. Have battery checked and go from there

Could be a clogged injector that drips when the engine is warm and stopped and the fuel rail is under pressure.

2 things happen, one or more cylinders is overfull of fuel and won't start the other is the reduction of pressure in the fuel rail.

It's worth trying a Seafoam clean before you spend a lot more.

Also, might be coolant temp sensor that talks to PCM - never thinks the engine is cold so doesn't set it up right to start.
