try a new coilpack assembly ,,it worked for me I had a similar problem on my 87 Century 3.8l. My Cam Position Sensor was overheating which changed the voltage and kept the car from running. I diagnosed it by pouring some cold water on the sensor when the vehicle wouldn't start and when it did I knew it was that sensor. It could also have been the Crankshaft Position Sensor. I would have chilled it next to determine this. I would also test that the the Fuel Pressure is accurate. My fuel pump worked intermittently causing the car to be hard starting when hot. ( I replaced the fuel pump and then found out about the sensors.) Good Luck!
i had the same problem with my 97 lesabre. it ended up being the fuel pump relay which is located under the top rear engine panel, on the passenger's side under the hood. may be same problem with yours.
It may be that in attempting to start the engine, you have flooded the carburettor with petrol. In that case, taking into account the age of the car, the 30 minutes you state, is simply the time it takes for the fuel to drain away from the carburettor and fuel/combustion chamber. Of course, there are a lot of other reasons. Without further information on the car, indeed without hearing the engine as you try to start it, the answer already given is the simplest.
cam position sensor has failed
Possible fuel filter, fuel pump sock fuel pump, Ignition module are the tops off the top of my head.
I have the same problem whit my Honda fourtrax 300 1992. I think that its related to the carburetor but I'm not sure though...
I'm hoping that you are not in traffic when you stall the car !! Some ignition switches for instance on VW's, the key has to be turned to the full off position and then on again in order to start. I would find a large parking lot to practice in - get to the point of never stalling before venturing out into the traffic flow.
the car dont star not run ,i see before the stater and the starter is good but i dont no the car not start now and need the coil ignition diagram thank
The start-stall issues are most likely the result of the car being 23 years old and in dire need of an overhaul.
cam position sensor has failed
check the fuel filter, may be clogged.

I can start my car fine, drive it for awhile, then its like after it gets warm it seems to stall, and shut off, then after tryin to restart a few times that battery acts as if its dead. I will sit there and wait for about 20-30 minutes and it will start right up like nothing happened, just to do it all over again. Can you tell me what the problem is?
Stalling while driving may be caused by a collapsing or kinked neoprene fuel line.
it is crankshaft position sensor.
Not sure if it's the same problem mine had, but there might be a vacuum leak in the PCV pipe. I had that happen when I'd turn a corner or come to a stop light and it would conk-out. I had a 92 PA that did the same thing. It turned out to be the crank sensor that was temperature sensitive. Later the cam sensor caused the same problem. The failure of either one will cause the engine to die. After the engine cools, it would start again. Reading out the error code should tell if either are bad.
If it is the 7.3L diesel .I would check the crank sensor.
FUEL PUMP IS YOUR PROBLEM {why do you think its the fuel pump?}
Hey tom its a 1990 pontiact transport van and it starts out fine and as soon as the vehicle warms up it will stall it will start back up but when you put it in gear from park it stall again until cool?
Could be fuel delivery problems such as a plugged up fuel filter, faulty fuel pump, faulty fuel pressure regulator,
