Electrical problem
1993 Oldsmobile Ciera Front Wheel Drive Automatic 102,00 miles

About 5 to 10 % of time car will not start after short 15 to 20 min drive. Starts fine if you wait 2 hours or overnight. Problem does not occur if you drive for 2 hrs. and stop. then it starts.
5 mechanics have cited fuel pump issues or ignition module but cant recreate problem and not sure.
HELP

The mechanics are correct. It could be either. THe only way to be sure is to check for spark and fuel to the engine when it doesn't start. If you want, I can give you directions to do it yourself when it happens again. Let me know if you feel you could do it.
