It runs and drives fine. After driving for about thirty minutes or more it will not start. It will not even crank, but dash lights and radio work. It will start again after sitting for about twenty minutes or so. Thought it was ignition control module so I replaced, but same problem. Cap, rotor, plugs and wires new less than 2,000 miles ago, alternator and battery less than 5,000 miles ago. New AC/Delco fuel pump and fuel filter less than 12,000 miles ago.

Check battery for condition including load test most places do for free. Then check for a starter draw may be drawing to many apmps. Also check engine/battery ground.

Battery tested good, cables looked good, took starter to parts store and it tested bad. Replaced, but haven't driven far enough to get hot yet.
