However if I let it sit for 1/2 hour it starts fine and I can drive for days. until it happens again.
I have taken it to a dealer the morning after a no start day and they "put it on the computer" for 89.00 to tell me nothing was wrong. This problem has happend 4 times after they told me nothing was wrong. (plugs and wires were overdue and should be replaced which I have done) I understand the fact they cant find the problem if the car is running but isnt there some other way to check the car out? no codes are coming back to the computer.
btw this is on a 1999 ford escort se 2.0 ltr 5 speed. with 80,000 miles.
currently i have replaced the battery, tune up, fuel filter, coil pack, control module computer.
**update** I just replaced the crank sensor to see if that helps.

Update #2 crank sensor didnt help This am I went to start the car got no spark just cranking away. I checked voltage at injectors and the voltage is there. I check for spark out of the coil no spark. I check the voltage to the coil with the three prong wire clip the wire in the middle had voltage but the coil wasnt spitting it out. I went and tried another coil and still no start. (or spark for that matter) I just made an appointment to bring it to an car electronic service station hopefully that will be the end of this drama this is supposed to be the best guy in RI thats why I have to wait till next wednsday.
