had the same problem when engine hot. left car for 30 mins started no problem.
eventually found that it was a faulty crank sensor.

Faulty crank sensor won't stop engine turning over.

When stuff gets hot the resistance goes up and bad connections show more. :y

seen this before on a citroen bx years ago and it turned out to be starter solenoid. and once all had cooled down it worked again.
