I say its a voltage drop from the battery. After you shut it off and
crank it, the battery is freshly fully charged so its bale to crank the
engine fast enough to restart the car.
After it sits, the voltage drope enough to not allow the motor to start.
Could be in combination with a cold start problem too. HTH!
