It could be flooded. If an injector or needle/seat is leaking slightly, the fuel residual fuel pressure in the fuel line will leak out after you turn off the engine. In a carburated engine, the fuel will flood the carburater and flow down the intake, in an injected engine, the results will be much the same. The fuel will eventually evaporate out and not cause a problem and the engine will start, but for the first couple hours it may be too much fuel for the cylinders and just flood the engine. That's one possibility. The other possibility is that there is an electronic component that gets hot and as long as the engine is running the component is getting enough air across it so that it will run properly, but when you turn off the engine the component continues to build heat and fails when you try to start the engine. Electronic components can be extremely heat sensitive, especially when they're ready to fail completely.
