Doesn't happen all the time. Starts car goes to school. Sometimes stops for a drink or something and will not start. Waits five minutes and it starts again. Longest wait was about 20 some minutes, but starts after the wait.

Does it turn over when it doesn't want to start? Does it get spark and fuel? Check the fuel pressure.
