Red light comes on then the car stops and won't crank until it sits a while then cranks and drive.

This light is known as the "master warning light" and most of the time when this comes on there is a problem with the hybrid battery. To be sure we should do a CAN scan which will give us the code to help confirm the failure.

Here is how it is done:
