Default C4 won't start at times

I am having trouble with my C4 starting at times. It's happened 3 times. I got into the car and turn it over, but it would not start. The engine turns over as normal. Two times I had driven from work and to the gym. When I attempting to leave the engine just turned over. On both of those occasions, the car started about 15 minutes later after I let it sit a while. On the third occasion, I was leaving for work one morning. The car sat all night. I tried starting it about 3 times. I then called a tow truck and he arrived about an hour later, we tried it again but it would not start. Once the car was towed, the shop owner turned the engine over and behold the car started. Any ideas? :confused:

So, when was the last time you got a complete tune-up??

Maybe the injectors are leaking, do they need a cleaning??

How does it run, once its started??

I've had a tune-up within the past 6 months. I use an injector cleaner everytime I change the oil and the car runs great once started.
