It could be a dirty throttle body, very common on Fords. If there's a carbon buildup it won't give a correct air/fuel mixture. After it cools it shoots extra gas and starts. Try turning the key to the on position 2 time without cranking the engine. That will give the extra fuel you need to start. It could also be multiple weak injectors that leak down after shutting it off.
