93 350 wont start

hello everyone, i have a 93 350 7.3 van, heres my problem. the van starts up first thing in the morning, i can drive it for at least three hours with some stops in between. it runs fine then in the afternoon when i stop it wont start up again.
it cranks over strong but just wont start. ill let it sit for about an hour or so and it will start right up.any suggesions would be great help. thanks

This sounds like a Injection pump that is going out. Next time it happens, gently pour some cool water over the IP and see if it will start.
the tolerances in the IP are not creating eneough pressure to pop the injector due to wear. That is my guess. How many miles on the IP?

It will cool the pump and tighten it back up like it was when it was cold.
