93 lumina 3.1 liter problems

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.

Do you have spark and injector pulse when it won't start?

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