Hi,
Have you checked the fuel mixture to confirm it is within the manufacturer's specs? Also, when it won't start, have you checked to see if there is spark to the plugs?
When you say it stalls and then won't start for some time passes, it sounds like the crankshaft position sensor may be bad. When they start to fail, heat affects them. Once they cool enough, the vehicle starts again.
Do me a favor. Take a look through this link. It describes the most common symptoms related to a bad crankshaft position sensor. Read through it and let me know if it seems to mirror what you experience.

If the sensor is bad, you will lose spark to the plugs. Also, if you have a live data scan tool, you can check for an RPM signal. No RPM signal usually is related to this sensor.
Here is a link that shows how to check for spark:

The easiest thing to do is see if it starts for a couple of seconds using starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, chances are it is fuel-related. If it doesn't change at all, then it is likely ignition-related.
If you determine the sensor is bad, here is a link that shows in general how to replace one:

If you look at the attached pic, it shows the sensor-specific to your vehicle. This one is a little more involved because the balancer belt (timing) needs to be removed.
The first pic below is how the sensor is replaced once the belt is off. The remaining pics explain how to remove and replace the belt.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions and what you find.
Take care,
Joe
