It is a failing fuel pump. You will have a lean bank A/B codes P0171/174 stored if you scan it. Buy a quality replacement fuel pump and replace it. There is no magic wand or sensor to solve this issue. Symptoms are.... cranks and starts fine when cool or first start in the morning. You get where your going and shut it off.... walk out shortly after, crank and no start. Walk out about an hour later and it starts. It will also suffer poor fuel economy and lack of power and will eventually leave you stranded. As the pump ages and gets hot, it loses its ability maintain the required fuel pressure to the fuel rail.
