After I drive my car, when I get to my house and turn off the car, it will not start again. I must wait for twenty minutes or so then it will start again.

Does it turn over? if it does not check fuel pressure with a gauge. auto parts rent it and you may need an adapter. a lot of times it is low fuel pressure causing this. See link.

Yes it turns over. It is almost like I have to wait for it to cool down for it to start again. After about fifteen or twenty minutes it starts right up.
