Once the car is driven for any length of time and then turned off. It will not start back for a lengthy period of time. The car runs great, but has this restart problem. Fuel filter has been chanaged, plug wires have been changed, and the ignition module has been replaced. Could it be the cam sensor? Please help

Next time it refuses to start after shutoff don't wait do below immediately to determine if its fuel or spark problem

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
