Which brand? What kind of gasoline? Some cars doesn't run with all gasoline grades also there is some gas station with poor quality of gasoline.
Happened to my car too, I always use SHELL but one day I stop in the MOBIIL gas station to put some gas, got home and the next day the car won't start had to by the STP aditive to put in the gas tank. wait about 10 minutes and car starts fine.
Another thing is my car won't run good with all gasoline grades
I always use the regular one.

do a test to see if the coil is ok and check the red and white wire coming from the back of the distributor for corrosion if those fail test the injectors for pulse

SOURCE: I have a 2004 Chevy Silverado. After I fill up

You have sediment in your tank that gets losened and blocks your fuel line after you gas up. drain tank and clean and change both fuel filters and that should fix your problem

SOURCE: truck won't crank & run when hot

The PMD ( pump mounted driver) black box on the side of the injection pump is shutting down when it gets hot, Best to replace entire injection pump for warranty purposes> repair should be made by qualified diesel mechanic as the **** timing has to be set with scan tool after replacement

I have 1995 5.8 Bronco. Startturn off. Come back in few minutes won't start, but will wait for 10 minutes or so and then starts fine...until turn off again. Solenoid?

By suggesting solenoid I guess you mean it will not even crank. Heat soak can make solenoid act this way. If it cranks but will not start, I suspect leaky fuel injector(s) flooding engine.

Starting problems

Hello David,
It sounds like by reading the second sentence that your problem began when you filled it up. Are you sure 100% that you put gas in your car and not diesel by accident? That would most certainly cause all your issues. Get a sample of the fuel from the carburetor or fuel line leading to it and verify that it is indeed gas. If it is diesel then you've got to purge /empty it all from the tank to the carb of the diesel fuel! This can be a very messy and possibly dangerous job especially while dealing with gas. Make sure you have lots of ventilation when doing this fuel swap if it applies. Good Luck!

2002 Chevrolet S-10 ZR2. Truck started fine, drove fine until arriving at destination. After turning the truck off for a few minutes, it would not start. Starter cranks, but engine will not turn over....

try priming the throtle body with some starting fluid, and if it dont fire up then the problems in the ign moduel but if it does fire up then the problems in the fuel pump.

Dodge Dakota doesn't start on first attempt. Seems like fuel takes a while to get up to engine. Once started it runs fine. When it sits for 10-15 minutes, I need to crank engine, wait 1 sec, then crank...

Is the pressure in the fuel system not holding? Fuel pump may be failing or the filter may be bad. Sounds like you're pumping the fuel system back up to pressure before the truck will start. Like when a fuel-injected car runs outta gas and you have to prime the system before it'll start again.

95 dodge dakota - cranks, runs 4 times, 5th don't wanna run

You will need to check the fuel pressure, if it is on the minimum pressure side or lower then you will need to change the fuel pump.
