The car has not started on several occasions, but on return after a few hours it will start. Today, there was a total stall while driving. cruising at 60 mph the engine went dead all at once. It would not restart at the moment. after about 30 min. the engine started and was able to drive home.

When it will not start, does the engine crank over and not start, or does it not do anything? If it cranks and does not start, you need to look for spark and fuel when it will not start. If it makes no noise at all, check all connections on the battery and starter.

It has always turned over when trying to start...just after a short wait it will fire on the first try. The total stall has me puzzled. It was as total power was cut off and after about 30 min. it fired off like new.

Check the EEC relay. SOunds like it may be getting hot and shutting off. Also check to see if any circuit breakers are weak. Still need to test to see if you are missing spark or fuel when it will not start. Can you hear the fuel pump when you turn the key to the on position?
