Sounds like an injector fault to me.
I had a very similar issue, car would start fine cold, once started even running for a few minutes it wouldn't start again until left to go completely cold. - often Hours later.
It ran like this for a good while, and then eventually wouldn't start at all.
I performed a leak off test on the injectors whilst cranking. One pot filled almost immediately.
Replaced that injector.
Problem solved.
