6 Cyl 4wd MPV - runs and drives fine, park it for 5 min and it won't start again. No clicking; it has power so the battery is ok, I turn the key and it doesn't do anything. I'll wait a half hour and it'll sart up fine. Check engine light is on when it won't start.

scan for codes although there may be none due to the engine not starting. check your condition of the battery and then if you can reach it hit the body of hte starter with a hammer, if it starts you'll need a starter. also most auto parts can check starter for draw have that done.
