1998 Plymouth Breeze 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Every time I try to start the car it doesn't want to turn completly over. I've replaced the battery and I was told the alternator was fine. Once I start the car up it runs very well.I cut it off then wait about a minute and try to start it up it starts right up with no problem. After the car sits for a few hours like 1 or 2 hrs. The car will not start. I have to keep trying to start it up about 6 times before it would work.I need to know what could be the problem with this car.

Cranks but no start condition-do below to determine whether it's fuel or spark issue:

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 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.
