car wont start on first crank after it sits

It starts fine when its cold. and i have no driveability problems. But if i stop for about 20-30 minutes, when i go to start it sounds like my 88' caprice did when it was flooded. It starts than dies. the second time i crank it it fires right up. This only happens every now and again, Any idea what this might be?

thanks in advance for the help

I fixed the evap canister hoses that were starting to rot out, causing the can not to have the proper pressure. This took away the gas smell i was having as well as the problem starting it.

Thanks Shoebox
