Well i have a 93 lumina it was running just fine and the other day it wouldnt crank i let it sit and it cooled off and would crank about 10 minutes later it died and wouldnt crank. So it cooled off again and it would crank right back up. All fluids are full and i have checked the ignition cil and modulator both working perfectly well and it doesnt runn long enough to overheat so im not sure whats wrong with it any advice would be great.

hey man u can check the computer codes ur self. with just a small piece of wire, has to be a chick copper house elextricle wire, then u see ur dignostics box under ur dash, cull the cover off, have the key turned to the start position, and look at the diognostics box, top row right corrner u'll 2 pins side by side top row in right corrner, then jam the wiere into thoes spots,u'r cooling fans will activate(well at lest mine do) and ur engine light will flish, 1,then 11 and that 11 means as is 1 flash pause flsh flash, it will do this 3times,pause and if theres a code will flash as like flash flash(2), flash flash flash flash flash(5) so the code would be 25, and it will do that 3times and if theres another code it will tell them alsoif theres no codes it will just pause and do the same flash ,flash flash,

It sounds like a crank sensor or ECM (computer) to me, but I'll need more info to make any more suggestions.
