Vauxhall Corsa want start after short journey

Car: Vauxhall Corsa
Model Year: 1999
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
After a short journey if I stop and want to restart it most of the time it takes 10 to 30minutes or more to start the car after several attempts. I have not had any issue starting in the morning as well as even after few days of not using the vehicl and when I start it starts on the first go.

what I have notcied is that this happens most of the time on short journeys. I have repalced a new battery too to make sure this will not keep repeating.
please advice me.

This is the same problem I have been having, I also had a new battery fitted, although mine was over 12 years old. I have been searching on the vauxhall owners site, and I'm narrowing it down to a crank shaft sensor, I'm going to change that on mine, It's only £12 new, so It's worth a try. I did the pedal test, and it showed P0335 which is the crank shaft sensor code.
