The starter is where I'd go first. I've just recently just had this problem with my '97. The tow truck driver clued me in when he had me turn the key and he rapped the starter from the top and I started right away. I was told that the starter is bad and after that I believed him because this has happened before and I've not had an answer until this last guy. He was my savior that day.

What is wrong when car runs and then will not crank?
Battery cables could be loose, battery could be bad, starter could be bad, starter solenoid could be bad, ignition switch could be bad. Turn on the headlights and try to crank the engine. If the headlights dim or go out look at the cables or battery. If they stay bright look at starter, solenoid or ignition switch. The neutral safety switch or clutch petal switch could do it too.
How do you trip the starter solenoid on a 1994 Geo Tracker Once the car has been driven for a while then turned off the starter will not do anything Turn the key and nothing?
If the starter will not engage on a 1994 Geo Tracker, it is possible that the solenoid needs to be replaced. There could also be a loose wire on the starter solenoid. Also check that the battery is fully charged. The battery could have gone dead while it was being driven.
What would make a 1994 Pontiac Grand Am just die and not start again?
It could be one of several things. The battery could be dead. But if you are still able to use the radio, headlights and things like that when you turn the key forward then im betting its the "starter". Which is located under the hood of your car but its easier to get to by getting under the car. I recomend getting a new starter if thats the case. I just recently replaced my starter in my 1993 geo tracker
