Re: 1990 Lumina 3.1 liter V6 needs help.

You mean the starter won't crank the motor until it sits for a while? That would point to the starter, yes.

If you mean it cranks but won't run, then something else is wrong. Ignition module, crank sensor, something like that.

Check you battery connections and the wires at the starter if the first is your problem. If that turns up nothing, then when it does that have someone hold the key all the way over to the start position while you give the starter a good whack with a hammer. If it suddenly starts up, the starter is going bad.
