Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! Sounds like your Silverado’s got a case of morning charm but mid-day stubbornness. If it cranks fine but doesn’t fire right away, the issue might be fuel-related. A weak fuel pump, clogged fuel filter, or a faulty fuel pressure regulator can cause hard starting after the system sits idle for a bit. Another culprit could be a crankshaft position sensor or ignition module that’s temperamental when warm. Sensors sometimes fail intermittently, causing inconsistent starts. To narrow it down, check the fuel pressure with a gauge (especially after the first failed start) and inspect the ignition system for weak spark. Also, listen for the fuel pump priming when you first turn the key.
