This has happened twice to date After operating the car for a short period of time, I come to a stop and shut the engine off. A few minutes later, the car won't start back up. THe engine turns over but will not start. Both times we have been able to leave the car sit for a minimum of hour, come back, and the car will start back up. Cars fuel level is good, battery is good I suspect a fuel flow problem or fuel pump / filter problem. Where to start?

I would recommend starting by checking the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) relay. Under the hood, is a relay block. If it happens again, switch the EEC relay with a different relay that has the same part number. There are a few in the block that are the same.

Let me know what you find.
