Electrical problem
1996 Chevy Corsica 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive 178000 miles

After my car has been run for a while and turned off for about 1/2 hour, it cranks but will not restart. It will restart fine several hours later. At night, sparks can be seen by spark plug wires. Will changing wires correct this or does the ignition modules need to be replaced too?

when you find yourself in that no start situation, you will need to do some tests to figure out what the problem is, a spark check and a fuel check will help you just about pinpoint the fault, it will atleast send you in the right direction. I will send you some stuff
