Hello!
I have a 97 Olds 88 and it never fails...When I drive in to work (8 Miles) if I stop the car it will refuse to start again for about an hour or 2. It jsut cranks until the battery starts to heave with exhaustion and I finally give up and call for a ride. If I come back to it though in say 2 hours or so, BANG! It starts right up and life is good again. Any ideas on what parts I should start tearing out to replace?
Thanks!

You need to narrow it down first. Check for fuel pressure when it won't start. Then check for spark when it won't start (use caution, DIS is very high voltage). Does the check engine light come on (when you turn the key on) when it won't start?
