Problems at Starting.....

Hey guys...I got this little problem that happens once in a while...after driving my truck for a while.....when I stop for a while and want to restart, the engine turns but just doesnt want to fire up I usually wait 20 minutes and then it starts but only after a few tries......it starts good every morning though ....I've ran a scan and no codes are showing up......so I was wondering if anyone had that problem before on a 95 ranger 3L...thanx in advance JF

Sometimes the check engine light blinks, but won't show up on the code reader. I assume you know how to read a blinking check engine light.
