My 98 Bravada runs good. When i drive it awhile and stop for a short amount of time (3 mins ) or less it starts right up. If i stop say for
(20) mins or so. It will not start the first time 2nd time it will start
after the starter turns over a few times.

Is the check engine light on?
Try turning the keyswitch to On, then wait for the fuel pump to stop running before you try to start the engine. This would indicate a check valve going bad on the fuel pump inside the fuel tank. A fuel pressure check would confirm this as after the pump gets the pressure up, it should hold it for 15-20 minutes.
