I have a 1995 Olds 88 will start right up, but then after driving it for a
wile Ill stop at the grocery store or something like that and it will not
star. I have to wait like 10-15 minutes, I don’t know why it does this and
its not all the time its random some times it will drive perfectly all day
or for a month and then it stops starting like I mentioned above. Can you
please help me I have no clue what it could be?

-I changed the plugs and wires
-I changed the fuel filter and air filter
-The fuel pump makes no noise
-The starter, battery, and alternator are all brand new

I have the same problem, and if I let it sit, it will start after random
times.
I have done everything as yourself, except replacing
the starter or alternator. I think I have narrowed mine to either bad wires
getting to my solenoid, the solenoid itself
or a deadspot in the starter.
However, I have hit the starter with my ratchet and it has started. I have
also moved around wires going to the solenoid and it has started.
so I am stumped also
