Bought a car off of a car lot in Brownwood, Texas about three weeks ago. After two weeks of having it I left work went in the store came out and it would not start and it would not start for about four hours. It is done it a few times since every time I have got it back started. I am blessed with the fuse box underneath the hood mainly the fuel pump relay because there is a single black wire ran to it that is going back to the wiring harness at the back of the car underneath. I am guessing it is the fuel pump, but it is wired information. Also, my feet fuse box underneath hood when wiggled turn the lights on and off all kinds of stuff.

Try tightening the bolts that stick up inside where the fuses are in the underhood fuse box see if there loose. People make repairs and forget to tighten them up. Those hold all the connectors tightly into the fuse box for power to flow thru the fuse box. Also have you checked for codes in the computer yet?

You could also have a bad crankshaft position sensor.
