2005 Cadillac CTS 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 63K miles

About every 3-6 months my CTS does not want to start. It cranks fine but appears to not be getting and spark or fuel. This appears to happen only after I start the car and only run it for less than a minute then shut it off. The past 4-5 times I let the car sit for about 1 hour and go out and it starts right up and it will run fine for several months. The last time it sat over night and it tooks several mins of cranking and it finally started. Now it starts and runs fine again. Took it to a shop and they put it on a computer and it only showed one error a engine misfire no other error codes. I would take it to a shop but it is running fine now.
