Was there any difference in weather? Hot/rainy. A/C on etc. My '89TII would start right up in extremely hot conditions, but occasionally wouldn't idle properly until after I drove it for a distance, then ok. Has done that for years.

i think flooding fouls your plugs and can accelerate the deterioration of your cat...not sure if it can cause any other problems though. by the way you put it (shutting car off, then starting it again 15-20min later, only to find it wont start right off) id guess its flooding. get your injectors cleaned...or wire a fuel-cut off switch...that is assuming it is flooding.
