Just picked up a 95 eagle talon tsi with 110,000 miles , drove it yesterday perfectly fine and today when I started up the car, it cranks over but wont start ,but if I wait for a couple minutes the car will crank over and start no problem,kinda of a weird problem ,but let me know if you guys know what it can be,thanks
 
Check that your coolant temp sensor is reading correct, and check the wiring I had similar issues when mine wasn't, if I stalled out(which was easy to do with a lightweight flywheel, a puck clutch, and dumping way too much fuel because my ECU thought the engine was 40* colder than it was, let alone when on a cold start it thought it was 40* colder than ambient air temp....) It wouldn't start up again for like 10-15m because it was flooding. Couldn't figure it out for the life of me until I had the car idling for a bit and noticed my temp gauge start reading high but my fans weren't kicking on, and my gauge had always been accurate, so I check the CTS reading and its 40* low...
I had replaced it because the wires snapped off right at the base of the sensor, but every parts store had the wrong plug connector, I tried 1g, 2g, Talon, eclipse, etc. every single variation and store had a different sensor connector....so I gave in, and bought that one and a plug tail to go with it....I wound up jerry rigging the original sensor.
