Ugh... hot start issues? won't turn over randomly

How frustrating... nothing like a long day at work only to go out to the Box, turn the key, and rem rem rem rem rem... *nada*

MY00 base Tip - "giving it gas" while turning the key had 0 effect - battery is good and all connections clean and tight - few attempts at turning it over - would let it sit for a minute or two, then it would fire right up like normal.

Runs fine as well with a good idle. No loss in performance while driving, and no weird idle/shuddering issues at stops.

Has started fine each morning, but at the end of the day (sitting in the sun at work), or even after I made a short trip around lunch time, it wouldn't start. So frustrating.. and kind of embarrassing...

I DO have two codes that have been on for a while (0410 and 1411). I cleared the CEL tonight. I've had these codes and CEL for about a year..

I'm now paranoid that each time I go to start it, it will fail... what should I be checking first? is there even a "fix" for a hot start issue (if that's what it is)? Long day... :ah:
