What would cause a 1992 Olds Achieva to not crank after running it for 45 minutes or so on a warm day but restart after cooling down for 15 minutes or so?

Check your starter, alternator, or fuel pump. I have replaced the alternator after some shop put the wrong alternator in. Apparently the 92 is a very special car with very special parts only made for it. Then i replaced the starter (again another super special achieva only part) and the whole intermittant starting problem like yours went away. UNTIL... it suddendly did it again only after a few months. Now it goes perfectly for a couple of months and then suddenly wont start. I have to wait for many hours and then try again. This is believed to be something with the fuel pump as i lose fuel pressure significantly by 20-30% when it is at rest which is believed to cause the whole (ghost in the machine) starting problem. but turning the key to the on position but not the start position allows the for the pump to whirr for a half a minute and that seems to help. it never acts up when i take it to the shop. So my suggestion is take it to a reliable shop and have them TEST and look at your alternator/starter and your fuel pump. start small with the starter and see if that helps. :;chuckles:: i say "small" ...but it is a pricey part because you Have to get it from dealer.
