Default 2007 intermittent start

Hey all,
I have a problem that has started showing up on a 2007 Silverado. Since Christmas eve this has happened three times. When I get in to start it the engine will crank but not start. After trying it several times and waiting 10 to 15 minutes it cranks and starts as normal.
All other lights come on as normal it just wont start.
Since this is an intermittent thing, I don't think a dealer will touch it yet.
Any suggestions what to look for?
Thanks

I am sorry you are experiencing this issue with your Silverado vehicle. Some possible causes for this issue are a poor or corroded electrical connection, poor battery cable connections, fuel contamination or an issue with the theft deterrent system. These are only offered as suggestions, they are not meant as a diagnosis.

I recommend consulting with a certified technician for an official diagnosis. They will be able to offer more information after inspecting the vehicle.

Please keep us posted.

If you have additional questions, please feel free to PM me.

Check the fuel pressure as well as its bleed down time with engine off.

Thanks for the response.
It has started fine twice since the last time it acted up but I will try to go through it this weekend and check the things mentioned.
