starts fine cold runs great,but after it is shut off for 10-20 min. it will not start.it cranks over but will not start.some times it quits while driving what do you think.

I have the same problem now and also about a year ago. Last time, it was dirty injectors. Seems they leak fuel when the car is turned off and causes a flooded situation when trying to restart. When the car sits overnight, the fuel evaporates allowing a proper startup. The fix was a very good fuel system cleaner added to the gas. This time, the cleaner didn't work so it's in the shop as I write. I will follow up when I find out what's going on.
