It could be several factors, is there enough fuel? What has been done so far? To properly assist you I will need more information.

THE ONLY THING HAVE DONE IS CHANGE WATER PUMP AND THERMOSTAT AND THE CAR HAS ENOUGH FUEL AND I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN IT HASN'T BEEN TOUCHED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME IT WILL START BUT WHEN IT WARMS UP AND THEN SHUT IT OFF IT WON'T START.THX

The problem might be electrical, how long has it been since a major service, have the main/fuel pump relays ever been changed, is the car properly maintained, do you use premium fuel, has the fuel pressure and delivery ever been checked. It could be a fuel pump issue.
