having some start up problems

Ok this only happens like once every month... when the car is warm already..and i go to start it up..it drops right above zero rpm and the engine light goes on... it just stays there..i turn it off and try it a couple more times and still the same. i leave it for bout 3 minutes..and it starts up fine.. doesnt happen again ...anybody know what could be the problem?
