During that time period where the car will not start, that is when you need to be diagnosing what is wrong. For instance, during that time period determine if there is any fuel being sent to the rail and thus the injectors. It is possible that the relay for the fuel pump is your problem but do a bit of checking.

Suggested Repair

While the engine will not restart, check whether fuel is reaching the rail and injectors. The fuel pump relay is a possible cause, but verify fuel delivery before replacing parts.
