Actually it sounds like you crank sensor, same thing was happening with my 2001. Thanks that could be true to but this is what happened to me maybe this will help too:

My 2001 Sunfire was doing the same thing and my husband replaced the fuel filter and the filter that leads to the carberator. The car started right up and is running fine. Dust, dirt and particles stopped it up, I live in the desert and the evening before the car quit running, we drove through mud and almost got stuck so we had to spin out and the car was cakes with mud....which is rare fro Arizona as we get no rain. Hope this helps others. Sharonkaye

Your 1997 Regal GS dies sometimes and has no spark sometimes it will refire right away and sometimes not for several hours you have replaced the ignition relay and module any other suggestions?

The crank sensor is bad. When the sensor gets hot (i.e. engine is warmed up) the sensor quits. The sensor sends a signal to the ignition control module to tell it to create spark. It is located behind the crank pulley (or harmonic balancer) and requires a special bolts for a pulley puller or entire pulley puller designed for the 3800 engines from 1987 up to 2008.
