Car starts fine the first time. After driving 15 minutes or so and tuning car off for 15 to 20 minutes, car would not start. It tries to start but acts like it is flodded or not getting gas, After is sets for 20 to 30 minutes it starts up fine. This happened two days in a row. Took it to a mechanic and was told the computer did not show any "faults" and the mechanic tried to duplicate the problem for a week and couldn't . Got the car back but don't trust it. It hasn't failed in three days.

Sounds like you have a problem with the crank sensor run the car at idle with the hood closed for the amount of time you stated shut car off for 1-5 minutes and try to restart if it doesn't start run some cool water over the crank sensor its drivers side rear of engine the try and start it..
