Won't start, well if it sits for awhile then it starts, then you drive it around and it drives ok, then when you park it and turn the engine off it won't restart, then it sits for awhile hours i mean then it starts what ever is happen seems to drain the battery had alternator checked was good on there test.

It appears you may have a bad ignition coil that cuts out after it gets hot. Not uncommon.

Do you have a check engine on? If so take it to auto zone they can read your code for free and tell you what's wrong.

The most likely problem is a failed safety switch in the transmission. It will only allow the engine to turn over when in "neutral", or "Park". Next time it happens try moving the transmission selector through the full range of travel a couple of times. If this cures the problem, you may need new switch.

Just as a precaution, please check the brake fluid reservoir on that model. There is a sensor at the base of the master cylinder which can leak brake fluid over the wiring circuit, and cause the electrics to short out. In some extreme cases this has caused fires in some vehicles. This is why Ford had issued a recall to this particular model in the states at least.

Check the electronics,cam sensor or crank sensor these are the culprits.

If you are driving the car and it wont start after driving awhile. Do a wiggle on the CKP (crank position sensor) this sensor is located at the front main engine pulley, I am seeing a lot of loose male to female connection shut car off.

Does it crank?If you shut it off and you restart after a few minutes and it cranks but won't start or starts and runs rough the injectors are leaking and flooding the engine. Need better description

IF CAR TURN OVER NOT CRANKING AFTER A SHORT DRIVE WHEN ENGINE HOT.DIRTY CLOGGED FUEL INJECTORS FLOODING ENGINE OUT.CLEAN FUEL INJECTORS.FILL GAS TANK UP.PUT A CAN OF SEAFOAM IN FUEL TANK.DRIVE CAR AROUND TO HELP FLUSH OUT CARBON ON THE INJECTORS SEATS TO STOP GAS DRIPPING CAUSING FLOODING.IF CAR WONT TURN OVER.BAD BATTERY CABLES OR STARTER.SCAN IT FOR THEFT SECURITY PROBLEMS. IF STARTER TURNS OVER NO CRANK ENGINE FLOODING DUE TO DIRTY FUEL INJECTORS.

replace the IAC or clean it. If it doesnt open when you try to start your engine it will not start, after it cools down it may work and let it start Idle Air Control Valve

i had the same problem with my fiero the ignition module quits when it gets hot.
