Laura,
Could be a bad battery, as the exact same thing happened to me last year or
was that the year . . . anyway, the starter needs more go juice to crank
over when hot and if ya got a weak battery it doesn't crank and ya gotta
wait till it cools down. Also the battery gets weaker when it gets hot after
driving.

pretty clear it's getting baked. Drive car, car gets hot, car won't start.
If I find a nice grassy area to park on and lift the hood the heat seems to
dissapate and the car will start (not every time though). All the
connections are tight, solonoid was replaced and the starter rebushed less
than a year ago. Also the header was replaced with a thermocoated polished
version (could this be contributing to the problem?).
