1997 Buick Park Avenue

I have a 97 Buick Park Avenue and there are times when my car will not start after it has ran for a while after being turned off. It will turn over but sometimes it gives me the impression that it is out of gas by the way it strains and sounds whenever I turn it over but it's never out of gas. Most of the time I wll have to wait for about 10 or 15 minutes sometimes lless or more before it actually starts. Sometimes while driving it will quietly shut off also and maybe once or twice while sitting waiting for a light to turn or just cranking it and letting it sit before I take off. It will also quietly shut off. The car runs great all except for that. It actually runs so quiet that sometimes when I have parked and leave it running I think that it has turned off again but its still actually running. Can you give me some reasons of why this may be happening. Thank You!

May be an ignition or fuel problem. It needs to be diagnosed when it is not starting. A spark tester can be used to check for spark loss.

What miliage are you at?
