Thanks Paul

Need some more info please.

If it just cranks it might be flooded, apply gas to floor while starting this will shut the fuel flow off temporarily.

If it does not turn over, maybe heat soak to the starter.

Hello

Not flooded. Cranks over just fine no starter motor problems.

Thanks Paul

When my injectors started to go, I could start the car, drive it but when I stopped it would not start, 10-15 minutes later it would start right up. Good luck!

Check for spark and fuel next time it won't start, in that order.
