Since the weather has warmed up to the 90's + a few times the car after being used, will not start, can sit and crank many times, cranks fast, but will not fire up. will leave sit for a few hours and will start just fine, idle perfect and run great. Read online about simular problem but they state long crank and problem could be idle air control valve, no one states that it wont start for awhile. I have not takin it off and replaced it or tried to clean it yet. Since i have not heard of that causing the car not to start ever so often. I dont know if it is that or possibly maybe some type of ignition control module. i have not checked yet the 3 times this has happens due to time restraint, if it has spark or is getting fuel when this happens.

any ideas if that valve sticks and maybe unsticks after cooling off, or sitting and then allows to start? as stated it runs great after it starts,
