1996 Chevy Cavalier 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

I have a 1996 Chevy Cavalier, that when you go to start it. It will start but if you go 5 mins up the roan or an hour if you shut it off you may get it started and you may not. If it doesn't then it might have to set for a few days to a few weeks before it will start again. Your help is greatly needed. Any suggestions. We have been told it was the comptuer box. Please Help!

Next time it happens don't wait for nothing or days do below immediatley to try and catch it what's causing it if its fuel or spark problem.

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
