Your starter is going bad. I have seen this work once, for a week, and for years. It can completely go out at any moment.

It probably is time to replace the starter.

Your car starts but when you stop you cannot start car again for at least 20 mins?

I am having this same problem. I will give a definitive answer once I've had my car looked at but I'm confident that the problem lies within either the starter or the solenoid. Strangely enough, if I bang the starter and solenoid with a hammer a few times the car will start right up. I think the gear inside the starter is jamming and the hammer helps to free it up.
