Problems Starting After Sitting for a few Minutes

[ApexRS]

Hello, before we get started I have an idea what a possible cause to the problem is, which is the fuel filter.

Problem:
After shutting off the engine and letting it sit for around 5-10 minutes it will no longer start. It will turn over, it just will not fire. However if I leave it sitting for about an hour or two, it will crank right up.

I have recently replaced the battery cables and oil, this issue was before those changes and is still an issue.

I have the gut feeling that it could be the fuel filter, but I am not sure.

The fuel filter would have to be really dirty for it to be causing this issue. Even then, it's highly unlikely.

Do you happen to have Link and could you post a log?

On my girlfriends car when that happened it was the water pump actually siezing and preventing the car from cranking fast enough to start. Once it cooled off, it would run again.

Hmm. I will check on this. Thanks for the response.

I planned on buying belts and water pump along with it. I know my belts are bad off.

Thanks all, can't do much at the moment. It is night and raining.
